Advanced Configuration and Management Guide

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration panel is displayed.

2.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the list of configuration options.

3.Click on the plus sign next to IP to display the list of IP configuration options.

4.Select the Community Access List link.

If the device does not have any community ACLs, the IP Community List panel is displayed, as shown in the following example.

If a community ACL is already configured and you are adding a new one, click on the Add Community Access List link to display the IP Community List panel, as shown in the following example.

NOTE: You cannot modify a community ACL. Instead, you can delete and then re-add the ACL. To delete an ACL, click on the Delete button to the right of the row describing the ACL, then click on the Add Community List link.

5.Edit the ACL ID in the ID field, if needed. You can enter a number from 1 – 199.

6.Edit the number in the sequence number in the Sequence field, if you want to override the automatically generated sequence number. You can configure up to 199 entries in a community list. If you do not specify a sequence number, the software numbers them in increments of 5, beginning with number 5. The software interprets the entries in ascending sequence order.

7.Select the action you want the software to perform if a route’s community list matches this ACL entry.

8.Select the community type by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the description, or enter the community numbers in the Community List field.

9.Click the Add button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.

10.Repeat steps 6 – 9 for each entry in the ACL. To create another community ACL, go to step 5.

11.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

NOTE: You cannot apply the community list ACLs to a neighbor using the Web management interface. You must use the CLI.
