SNMP Community Strings
A community string has attributes for controlling who can use the string
and what the string will allow a network management station to do on the
switch. The AT-S113 Management Software does not provide any default
community strings. You must first define an SNMP User and Group Name
on the SNMP User/Group page and then define a Community Name on
the SNMP Community Table page.
Use the following sections to create, modify, and delete SNMP community
strings:
 “Create SNMP Community Strings,” next
 “Modify SNMP Community Strings” on page 217
 “Delete SNMP Community Strings” on page 217
