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 exampl e:
*.*.*.*
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, an d 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.
