Cisco MGM Community String Configuration
Initializing Cisco MGX 8260 Community Strings
You can configure up to 15 community strings for the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway. Community
strings define the IP address, string, and privilege.
You configure community strings from the Cisco WebViewer community string screen (see Table 4-3).
Figure 4-3 Community String Screen
The following table summarizes the Cisco WebViewer support for community string configuration.
Initializing Cisco MGM Community Strings
When configuring community strings for Cisco MGM, consider the following points:
• You need to know the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway community strings when configuring Cisco
MGM. The read community string you specified for autodiscovery is the default read community
for all the managed objects on the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway and its children. The default
write community for Cisco MGM is public.
• Always use the Open SNMP Community String Configuration Dialog ... from the chassis or site
level to modify read and write community strings.
• The connection between Cisco MGM and each Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway has its own
community string. Therefore, there are multiple community string values, one for each managed
object. The dialog box only displays the last value stored locally.
