Asante Technologies Guide to Setting Community Strings in IntraSpection for Network Devices

Setting Community Strings

Setting Community Strings

Community strings define access rights for reading and writing SNMP data objects for a device.

The community strings (read and write) for an IntraStack are manually set in the IntraStack 6014DSB via the unit’s console port.

In order to access an IntraStack with IntraSpection, the community strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the IntraStack 6014DSB.

▲Important: It is recommended that you set the commu- nity strings for an IntraStack 6014DSB in IntraSpection before you attempt to perform any network management functions.

This section describes how to set the community strings in IntraSpec- tion to match those set in the IntraStack 6014DSB.
