xcmGenBaseSNMPWriteCommunity

This object is used to specify a 'write community name' valid
for use in SNMPv1c and SNMPv2c 'Set' PDUs
              
              
received (SNMP requests) and generated (SNMP responses)
by this management agent.
              
Usage:  Note that the object 'xcmGenBaseSNMPWriteCommunity'
SHALL ALSO be used to specify a 'read community name' valid
for use in SNMPv1c and SNMPv2c 'Get|GetNext|GetBulk'
PDUs received (SNMP requests) and generated (SNMP responses)
by this management agent.  Note however that the object
'xcmGenBaseSNMPTrapCommunity' SHALL NOT be used to specify a
'read community name' valid in SNMP 'Get|GetNext|GetBulk'.
              
Usage:  All XCMI conforming management agents SHALL treat
a valid 'write community name' as a valid 'read community name'
and SHALL NOT increment 'snmpInBadCommunityNames' (unknown name)
or 'snmpInBadCommunityUses' (wrong community name for operation)
counters in the SNMPv2 Agent MIB (RFC 1907).
              
Note:   XCMI-defined community name objects support 64 octets
maximum length and configurable charsets, for consistency with
the 'snmpCommunityName' object defined in the SNMP Community MIB
defined in RFC 2576 (March 2000).
              
Note:   Products MAY ship with a market-specific factory default
locale with a charset other than 'utf-8', eg, in Japan a product
might factory default to 'shift-jis(17)' or 'iso-2022-jp(39)'.
Such products MUST implement the 'xcmGenFixedLocalizationTable',
to prevent ambiguity about the factory default charset.
              
Usage:  For best interworking with the ('utf-8' charset ONLY)
closely related 'snmpCommunitySecurityName' object in RFC 2576,
conforming management stations and management agents SHOULD NOT
configure community names longer than 32 octets.
              
Usage:  For best interworking with third-party applications,
conforming management stations and management agents SHOULD NOT
configure empty (zero-length or all spaces) community names.
              
Usage:  All XCMI conforming management agents are
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to support an authenticated SNMP SetRequest
to this object, changing the system 'write community name'
(for best interworking with third-party management stations).
              
Usage:  All XCMI conforming management agents: a) SHALL
return a zero length string in response to an SNMP GetRequest of
this object; b) are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to default
this object to the string 'public' (in the static charset); and
c) MAY support multiple valid 'write community names' (by using
'xcmGenBaseWriteCommunity' as a 'window' to a community list via
'device[Set|List]' device operations in the Device Mgmt group
of the XCMI Host Resources Ext MIB).
              
Usage:  This object is of type 'XcmFixedLocaleDisplayString'
(see DESCRIPTION of 'xcmGenBaseSNMPReadCommunity' above).
If 'xcmGenLocalizationTable' or 'xcmGenFixedLocalizationTable'
              
              
are not implemented on this host system, then the charset SHALL
be 'utf-8(106)', ISO 10646-1 in 'UTF-8' stream encoding.
              
Usage:  All XCMI conforming management agents SHALL allow
any defined character in the configured charset of this object.
All XCMI conforming management stations SHOULD NOT write control
characters or other non-display characters into this object.
              
Usage:  When an SNMP management stations CHANGES the value of
this 'write community name', an XCMI conforming management agent
SHALL use the old (previous) 'write community name' when
generating the SNMP response to the 'Set' PDU, for consistency.
              
WARNING:  Changing the only valid 'write community name' of an
SNMP management agent will cause a COMPLETE loss of
communications unless all associated SNMP management stations
(clients) ALSO change over to the new 'write community name'!!!
