5.3 Communities
Communities: The community strings is case-sensitive and can have 0-16
alphanumeric characters. Permits SNMP Manager to access unit using community
strings. The default community strings are as follows:
Read Only: public
Read Write: private
CAUTION! As part of the initial setup, if you do not intend to utilize the SNMP
function, it is good practice to change the community strings to non-default values. This
will prevent users from accessing the SNMP agent.
6. Statistics
Allows the viewing of receive and transmit Ethernet packet statistics for all embedded
Ethernet switch interfaces. This is a major source of troubleshooting information for
the system. These values allow the user to see where packets are dropped due to
corrupted or invalid contents, determine the flow of packets between the interfaces,
and determine the rate that data is moving through the system.
Note: that ‘Receive’ and ‘Transmit’ are relative to the switch port; e.g., a packet
transmitted on the fiber interface is a packet sent from the switch to the user’s
network equipment.
The statistics page has an automatic refresh function, which can be enabled/disabled
by checking/unchecking the check box at the bottom of the page. When the automatic
refresh box is checked the page will be updated every 15 seconds.
The clear button at the bottom of the statistics page will clear all packet counters in
the radio.
