When you set a community string, you can specify any value up to 48 characters long.

To set a community string:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

snmp community

You are prompted for a read-only community value and then a read-write community value. If you do not want to change the value of a community string, press [Return] at either prompt.

2At the read-only prompt, enter the community string.

3At the read-write prompt, enter the community string.

For network management applications, you can use the Administration Console to manually administer the trap reporting address information.

Displaying the trap reporting information shows you the various SNMP traps and the current configured destinations, as well as whether the proxying of remote SMT traps is enabled or disabled.

To show the configured trap reporting information, enter the following from the top level of the Administration Console:
