CREATING COMMUNITY STRINGS
Community strings add a level of security to a network. The default community string
is named "public" and has read/write access. For security, "public" should be
replaced with custom community strings such as ones created with read-only access
(for general use), and another with read/write access (for administrator).
To create a new community string, go to the main configuration screen and press
C
.
Enter the name of the new community (up to 16 characters, no spaces) and press
Enter
. Type one of the following to assign the community string’s access rights:
•
R
= read-only access
•
W
= read/write access
•
Enter
= abort
After entering
R
or
W
, press
Enter
. To finish, press
Enter
and reboot.
