Community Name Information

Specify the community name the Hardware Management Console Application must use to request SNMP information from the SNMP agent.

A community name is similar to a password. It is used by an SNMP agent to validate requests for information received from system management applications.

The SNMP agent provides SNMP information to system applications authorized to manage another application and its objects.

Note: The community name is case sensitive.

The community name you specify must match exactly the community name in the SNMP information for this console for its SNMP agent to validate and accept requests from the Hardware Management Console Application for SNMP information.
