In this section:
SNMP community strings are text strings that act as a rudimentary authentication mechanism for SNMP v1/v2. An SNMP manager places a community string (in plaintext) into an SNMP request when sending the request to a managed device such as spac. The SNMP agent in a managed device ignores SNMP requests that do not contain a community string matching with the previously configured string.
You can create up to eight SNMP Community Strings.
