String

An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password. It is used to 

authenticate messages that are sent between the management station (the SNMP 

manager) and the device (the SNMP agent). The community string is included in 

every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent.
This field displays the community string of this remote trap station.
