Community String Guidelines

Use these guidelines when adding or modifying community strings:

You can assign community strings to any of the following:

Complete IP address; for example, 172.20.4.9

Any wild cards (based on IP addresses); for example: *.*.*.*

172.*.*.*

Address ranges, which can include wild cards; for example: 27.20.[4-55].* 172.[21-30].[44-88].* 172.*.*.[121-255]

You can add a combination of general and specific entries, but the WLSE reads the community strings from most specific to least specific.

If you enter duplicate community strings for a device, the most specific community string is used.

A # sign as the first character on a line indicates a comment.

All printable characters, except for colons (:), are allowed in community strings.

Spaces are not allowed in community strings.

Specify the HTTP Username and Password

HTTP usernames and passwords are required for downloading configuration files to access points. The password must be set on each access point, and you can enter as many usernames and passwords as necessary on the WLSE. For more information about setting passwords on access points, see Set Up Devices, page 6-12.

Note Your login determines whether you can use this option.
