Configuration

Appears when either SNMP v1/2 or SNMP v3 is selected.
Choices are “Add,” “Edit/Delete,” or “Exit.”

SNMPv1/v2
Community

The community name is sent in every SNMP communication
between the client and the server, and the community name
must be correct before requests are allowed. Communities are
further defined by the type of access specified under
“Permission”: either read only or read write. The most common
community is “public” and it should not be used because it is so
commonly known. By default, the public community cannot
access SNMP information on the KVM/net.
