We can leave them untouched. ValidCommunities, PermittedManagers, and TrapConfiguration are way more important. They define what systems can communicate to the host via SNMP 3.1 ValidCommunitiesThe ValidCommunities key contains the list of SNMP communities and permissions.

It is a numbered list of names or IP addresses. For example: '1'='10.10.10.1'2'='MonitoringServer.doamin.com'3.3 TrapConfigurationThe TrapConfiguration key is a list of subkeys, one per community names. In turn every subkey contains a list of hosts, to which the traps will be sent.
For example: TrapConfigurationpublic'1'='10.10.10.1'2'='MonitoringServer.doamin.com'Note: Community names are case-sensitive.
