Hi,
The community string is used when SNMP is being used to monitor some parameters on an server/router/switch etc. which support SNMP. In your case, if you are planning to monitor your bandwidth, then enable SNMP support on your gateway and gives its SNMP string in Solarwinds. The default SNMP read string will be 'pubic'. Change it if you wish to.
