SNMP community

An SNMP community is a grouping of equipment for network administration purposes.
Add SNMP communities so that SNMP managers can connect to the FortiGate unit to
view system information and receive SNMP traps. You can add up to three SNMP
communities. Each community can have a different configuration for SNMP queries
and traps. Each community can be configured to monitor the FortiGate unit for a
different set of events. You can also add the IP addresses of up to 8 SNMP managers
to each community.
