Configuring Community Strings

To configure SNMP Community strings, click on the SNMP Community Setup link.

This window is used to create an SNMP community string and to specify the string as having read only or read-write privileges for the SNMP management host.

A community sting is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters used to authentication of users wanting access to the switch’s SNMP agent.

Read read only allows the user using the above community string to have read only access to the switch’s SNMP agent. The default read only community string is public.

R/W read/write allows the user using the above community string to have read and write access to the switch’s SNMP agent. The default read write community string is private.

Only administrator-level users can configure community strings. A maximum of 4 community strings can be specified.
