Community	Set the community string in Security Manager for Dell OpenManage server Agent or Dell-iDRAC resources: Provide the SNMP community string that is required to access Dell OpenManage or iDRAC resources. If it is empty, then the community string configured in the security manager will be used. Refer Section 2.8, “Configuring SNMP,” of Management Guide to know how to configure the security manager.
