6.2.2.2. Community Strings

Community Strings are considered as "passwords" within SNMP, controlling the ability to read ("GET")
and/or read/write ("SET") values to a specific destination. "GET" and "SET" messages include the
community strings within their PDU (protocol data units). By factory default, community strings are set to
"public" and "private", respectively. If these settings are changed, the SNMP manager's community string
must agree with the "SET" string. Otherwise no communication will occur between the 7800FC and
manager.
This menu item contains setup information for SNMP version 1 related
configurations.
This menu item contains setup information for SNMP version 3 related
configurations.
This menu item identifies which of the two version of SNMP will be used to
communicate to the 7800FC.
Factory default "public" (No changes required. However, if these settings are
changed, the manager must have the identical settings. Otherwise no
communication will occur between the 7800FC and the manager.)
Factory default "private" (No changes required. However, if these settings are
changed, the manager must have the identical settings. Otherwise no
communication will occur between the 7800FC and the manager.)
This menu item identifies the destination IP addresses (SNMP Trap Handlers) to
which TRAPS are sent via SNMP. A maximum of ten IP addresses may be
entered.
