If you want to put an "@" (or any of the other control characters) into your SNMP community, then use a backstroke escape:

Target[vlan-10-hosts]: CnTWaLK.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1&CnTWaLK.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1:public\@[email protected]:::::2

Presumably, your device has some special handling of an '@number' suffix to the community string to restrict reporting to a specific VLAN.
