How Do I Configure the SNMP Community String?
4.3.4.2 Deleting Multiple Groups
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, select the group to be deleted. Select multiple groups by
pressing and holding down the Ctrl key, then click each group that will be deleted.
Step 2 You can delete either the selected instance of the groups or all instances of the groups:
• To remove the selected instance of the groups, choose Edit > Delete; then, click Yes in the
confirmation dialog box.
• To remove all instances of the selected groups, choose Edit > Delete All; then, click Yes in the
confirmation dialog box.
Note Before deleting the last instance of a group, the group must be empty. Move all of the NEs and groups
that the group contains to a different group.
4.4 How Do I Configure the SNMP Community String?
Cisco MGM configures the community strings for SNMP management and supports various
multi-service-switching devices.
Caution The community strings on the devices and the community strings used by Cisco MGM do not sync up
automatically (except at the initial stage when the community strings on the devices are at default).You
have to explicitly change them on both sides (using the Network Element Property pane in the Domain
Explorer on Cisco MGM and the command line interface (CLI) on the switch). See 4.4.2 Changing
Community Strings Using the Domain Explorer and 4.4.3 Changing Community Strings Using the CLI.
If this is not done, all SNMP requests fail, and the Cisco MGM database is inconsistent with the network.
To configure the SNMP community string, you must change the community strings on the devices
through the CLI. SSH or Telnet to the switch to configure the community strings at the switches. The
community strings are configured for the Cisco MGX PXM45-based products (Cisco MGX 8880, and
Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45)).
Table 4-3 describes the various options involved in configuring the SNMP.
