Setting the Get/Set community strings

in the Sentry3 MIB.

The Setcomm string provides read-write access to sentry3 MIB objects.
The default Setcomm string is “private”
To set the Setcomm community string:
At the Sentry: prompt, type set snmp setcomm, followed by the string and press Enter.
Getcomm
The Getcomm string provides read-only access to sentry3 MIB objects.
The default Getcomm string is “public”.
To set the Getcomm community string:
At the Sentry: prompt, type set snmp getcomm, followed by the string and press Enter.
Setting the Trap community string
The Set SNMP Trapcomm command is used to set the community string that is included with all
generated traps. This string must be defined to enable trap generation.
The trap community string may be 1 to 24 characters.
The default Trapcomm string is “trap”.
