device, pressing

if desired (press

When finished, press
Enter
, then type

for changes to take effect. The
Saved Values and Current Values should now display both the changes made
(e.g., new IP address and subnet mask).
Creating Community Strings for SNMP
The purpose of community strings is to add a level of security to a network.
The default community string is named "public" and has read/write access.
Do not delete the community string “public” until the new community string
has been tested. Add necessary custom community strings such as one with
read/only access (for general use), the other with read/write access (for the
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.
Then type one of the following to assign the
community string's access rights:
R
= read-only access
W
= read/write access
Enter
= abort
Press
Enter
. When finished, press
Enter
, and type
reboot
for changes to take
effect. The Saved Values and Current Values should now both display the
changes made (e.g., new IP address and subnet mask). iConfig MIB
definitions allow the user greater control of Community Strings than serial or
telnet.
Deleting Community Strings
To delete all community strings (except the default, “public”) and start over,
press
U
. Press
Y
to delete all strings or
N
to abort. Then, press
Enter.
This
function will delete ALL community strings. To selectively delete community
strings, use iConfig.
Assigning Trap Destinations
A manageable device sends traps when a certain events take place. To enter
a trap destination, press
T
. Enter the IP address of the destination device
and press
Enter
. Then, type the name of the community string (that the
destination device has been configured to accept) and press
Enter
. This
