Set device community
SNMP network management systems can have community names—another level of password—to control
access rights to a managed device.
Only network management stations with the same community names as
those stored in the Switch can receive SNMP packets from the Switch.
To set community names, select Set Device Community from the Console Main Menu.
The Set Device
Community screen appears:
You can use the default names shown above, or enter a Community Name of your choice, up to 15
alphanumeric characters. Community names are case-sensitive. You can change all community names
shown in brackets. You cannot change the community name browser but you can modify the rights.
Browser is the community name that controls access rights to the Switch for all personnel using the Web
version of the BitStorm L3S Series Device Manager. Network managers often give read-only rights to
support personnel who monitor the Switch out-of-band using the Web version.
