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. "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 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
After entering
R
or
W
, press
Enter
. To finish, press
Enter
and reboot.
Deleting Community Strings
To delete all community strings, perform the following:
Press
U
. The "Are you sure you want to delete all future strings?" prompt is displayed.
Press
Y
when prompted to proceed and delete all community strings,
N
to abort.
Press

to finish.
