Configuring an SNMP v1/v2c community
An SNMP community is a grouping of equipment for network administration purposes. Add SNMP communities so that the FortiManager system (the SNMP agent in this case) can connect to the SNMP manager that is monitoring.

Each community can have a different configuration for SNMP traps and can be configured to monitor different events. You can add the IP addresses of up to eight hosts to each community. Hosts can receive SNMP device traps and information.
Select Create New in the SNMP v1/v2c toolbar to open the New SNMP Community page, where you can configure a new SNMP community.
When you create a new SNMP community, there are no host entries. Selecting Add creates an entry that broadcasts the SNMP traps and information to the network connected to the specified interface.
