I'd strongly suggest that you use rocommunity public instead, and *don't* give global write access to the "public" community. There's a limit to the amount of damage that can be done via SNMP, but this is non-zero (and generally increasing). You don't really want the whole world being able to fiddle with your systems! If you do use "rwcommunity", choose something non-obvious for the community string. Or better, (once you've come to terms with the basics of SNMP) look into SNMPv3 which is *MUCH* more secure.
