To be strictly accurate, it's part of the administrative framework for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c - i.e. an "SNMP Message" (see RFC 1901) It's not actually part of the SNMP protocol itself (i.e. the "SNMP PDU"), as defined in RFC 1905 > The "community" string acts as > (a VERY limited) security check to determine if a monitor has read/write > access to the MIB-tables it has. The usual way to think of the community string is as a (plain-text) password. Different community strings can be granted different levels of access to a given SNMP agent.
