Get Community Community refers to a host group aiming at network management.
Get Community only has the read-only right of the device’s SNMP
information. The community name can be considered a group password.
The default setting is public.
Get Source Defines the IP address (for example, 10.10.10.1) for management
systems that can serve as Get Community to read the SNMP information
of this device. The default is 0.0.0.0, which means all hosts can read the
SNMP information of this device.
Set Community Set Community has the read and write right of the device’s SNMP
information. Enter the community name that allows read/write access to
the device’s SNMP information. The community name can be considered
a group password. The default setting is private.
Set Source Defines the IP address (for example, 10.10.10.1) for management

information of this device. The default is 0.0.0.0, which means all hosts
can read and write the SNMP information of this device.
3. Click Save.
Note:
Defining community can allow management systems in the same community to communicate
with the SNMP Agent. The community name can be seen as the shared password of the network
hosts group. Thus, for the security, we recommend that modify the default community name before
enabling the SNMP Agent service. If the field of community is blank, the SNMP Agent will not
respond to any community name.
