community is the community name (public by default) of the device you want to "look at". router.abc.xyz could be it's IP, name... so if your goal was to see the bandwith

used by a switch (like 75.48.125.54 for example), you'd just have to use public at 75.48.125.54 . Then cfgmaker makes the right config file... Easy, isn't it? ;-)
Just try to make cfg files to begin (with cfgmaker, not by hand! later...), then search how to do it for the right devices you want to monitor.

Dunno, using it under Solaris...

Hope this helps
