Establishing Community Names

The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen must have super-user
access to view and edit the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen. Using a password
with read-only or read-write access does not allow the viewing or editing of the SNMP
Community Names Configuration screen.
To establish community names, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent to the selected access
level.
2. Enter the password in the field (maximum 31 characters).
3. Press ENTER.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press
ENTER. The message "SAVED OK" displays. The community names are saved to memory and
their access modes implemented.
NOTE: Exiting without saving causes a "NOT SAVED?" message to display at the top
left of the screen. Edits are lost if they are not saved before exiting.

to the switch module MIB objects, and excludes access
to security-protected fields of read-write or super-user
authorization.
read-write This community name gives the user read-write access
to the switch module MIB objects, excluding security
protected fields for Super-User access only.
super-user This community name gives the user read-write access
to the switch module MIB objects and allows the user
to change all modifiable parameters including
community names, IP addresses, traps, and SNMP
objects.
