Community

Strings

A community string has attributes for controlling who can use the string and what the string will allow a network management station to do on the switch. The AT-S112 Management Software does not provide any default community strings. You must first define an SNMP User and Group Name on the SNMP User/Group page and then define a Community Name on the SNMP Community Table page.

To create an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community string, do the following:

1.From the main menu on the left side of the page, select the SNMP folder.

The SNMP folder expands.

2.From the SNMP folder, select Community Table.

The Community Table Page is displayed. See Figure 65.

Figure 65. Community Table Page

3.Enter a new Community Name.

A name can be up to 31 characters in length.

4.Enter a User Name(View Policy) that has been previously defined.

Note

This name must match one of the User Names displayed on the SNMP User/Group page. See “Create User and Group Names” on page 193. If you enter a user name that has not been pre-defined on the SNMP User/Group page, the Community entry is displayed, but the agent/manager communication fails.
