SECURITY ALERT
The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of
Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords for
their respective SNMP operation. It is always a good idea to change these community name
strings to something other than the default values. If a Network Management Station (NMS) is
in operation on the network, whatever these strings are changed to must be communicated to the
NMS administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could create a serious security
issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with it's widely known value of
Private, could be used to reconfigure the Ethernet switch via SNMP message.
7 When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the Ethernet switch.
If two Ethernet switches are present for CNA, repeat steps 1 through 7 for the second
8
switch. Refer to the filled-out job aid titled Pre-Installation Network Planning
Forms—S8700 Media Server for the proper addresses, masks, and community strings.
9 If high or critical reliability, repeat steps 1 through 7 for the remaining Ethernet
switch(es). Refer to the filled-out job aid titled Pre-Installation Network Planning
Forms—S8700 Media Server for the proper addresses, masks, and community strings.
