With IPHost Network Monitor you can run simple snmp requests against a Nortel device in your network.
vrSnmpComCommunityString
Virtual Router Snmp Com Community String
This attribute is the SNMPv1 Community name. The value of this attribute is used to authenticate SNMP messages received from SNMPv1 management entities, and is placed in SNMP messages sent out by the SNMPv1 network management entity. The string 'public' is commonly used. When an SNMPv1 message is received, the community name in the message is checked to ensure that it matches a Community string. If there are no Manager subcomponents for that Community then the level of access is determined by the accessMode attribute. If there are Manager subcomponents for the Community then the originating transport address in the message must match the transportAddress of one of the Manager subcomponents, and the level of access of the sending entity is determined by the privileges attribute for that Manager. The combination of communityString and tDomain attributes must be unique across all Communies.
