Setting Community Strings

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

The community strings (read community and write community) for an AsantéFAST 100 Hub stack’s management module are manually set in the management module via the module’s console port. In order to access the management module with IntraSpection, the community strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the manage- ment module.

▲Important: It is recommended that you set the commu- nity strings for an AsantéFAST 100 Hub stack in IntraSpec- tion 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 management module.

To set the community strings for a management module in IntraSpec- tion:

1 On the Device Page, click the map icon on the IntraSpection navigation bar (located at the bottom of the screen), as shown in Figure 3-6.
