Console Commands
  
Community
Use Community to group NMS (network management system) hosts by privilege level. Hosts are collectively called 
communities, and their privilege level determines the type of information access permitted by the switch. The switch 
provides access to the information only if the request comes from a community configured with the necessary 
privileges.
Operators
add, delete, show
Parameters

Do not modify the ILMI community. The ILMI protocol will not work correctly 
if modified.
