Community string for SNMP traps

You can configure the community string which, an SNMP agent sends to the management platform as part of an SNMP trap. The management platform will then only accept SNMP traps with this community string.

Recommendation

Select suitable communities corresponding to the organization of your systems and operations. Change the community string in accordance with the guidelines of your manual: in a similar way, for instance, as for passwords. Note that you must change the community string in all participating systems in the community.
