Intel® NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
•Community strings—Allows a simple method of authentication
between the 480T routing switch and the remote Network
Manager. There are two types of community strings on the switch.
Read community strings provide read-only access to the switch.
The default read-only community string is public. Read-write
community strings provide read and write access to the switch.
The default read-write community string is private. A total of
eight community strings can be configured on the switch. The
community string for all authorized trap receivers must be
configured on the switch for the trap receiver to receive switch-
generated traps. SNMP community strings can contain up to 127
characters.
•System contact (optional)—A text field where you can enter the
name of the person(s) responsible for managing the switch.
•System name—The name you have assigned to this switch. The
default name is switch480T.
•System location (optional)—Use this to enter an optional
location for this switch.
