Address

Specify an internet address (IP address) in dotted decimal notation. When a manager makes an SNMP request, a logical AND is performed on its address and the value specified in the network mask field. If the result of the logical AND matches the value specified in the address field, the request is processed.

If you specify a specific IP address in this field, only the host using that IP address can use the community name specified in the name field. Enter a network mask of 255.255.255.255 if you specify a specific IP address in this field.

To allow any host with the correct community name to make SNMP requests, specify 0.0.0.0 in the address field and 0.0.0.0 in the network mask field.
