SNMP V1 provides a weak method of authenticating SNMP
requests, using the ‘community name’. This optional parameter allows you
to specify the SNMP V1 community name that will be honoured by SNMPAgent.
Any SNMP request that does not include the correct community name will be
ignored. Defaults to nothing. We strongly recommend that you choose a
community name and keep it secret.
Community is now deprecated, but
is still honoured for backwards compatibility. New implementations should
use ROCommunity and /or RWCommunity.
