An SNMP <strong>com</strong>munity is a grouping of equipment for network administration<br />

purposes. Add SNMP <strong>com</strong>munities so that SNMP managers can connect to the<br />

<strong>FortiGate</strong> unit to view system information and receive SNMP traps. You can add<br />

up to three SNMP <strong>com</strong>munities. Each <strong>com</strong>munity can have a different<br />

configuration for SNMP queries and traps. Each <strong>com</strong>munity can be configured to<br />

monitor the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit for a different set of events. You can also add the IP<br />

addresses of up to 8 SNMP managers to each <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />
