As far as I know, you cannot ask NV to store more than one read community
string for the same node.
Through Options-->SNMP Configuration you can set community strings for
default, IP node address wildcarded groups, collections, and individual
nodes. You can use xnmsnmpconf to import settings from a text file and then
to clear the cached values (see the man page for the syntax).
