Specifying Options
for SNMP Communities
SNMP includes a default community named "public." The public
community is assigned write-read-trap access by default. You should change public access
to read-trap and add at least one other community with write-read-trap access.
You can specify one or more addresses for each community, one at a time.
If you do not specify an address for a community, requests are accepted by any host. The
address is also used to specify the hosts that receive the traps. If no address is
specified, no traps are generated.
