You will only need to add an entry to the community table, if
you want to forward a SNMPv1 request, but as I understand your
question you want to forward a v1/v2c/v3 to an SNMPv1 agent,
right?

In the first case, the contextEngineID will be the engineID
of the proxy forwarder you want to use and the context
will be "" by default.

In the second case, the securityName within the target parameters
specified by the proxy entry used will denote the community
used for the outgoing request.
