the name of the community string (that the destination device has been configured to
accept) and press Enter. This function enables ALL of the device's traps. To
selectively activate and de-activate traps, use iConfig for configuration. Supported
traps are Enterprise specific and include: Link Down, Link Up, Cold Start, Warm Start

Creating Community Strings
The purpose of community strings is to add a level of security to a network. The
default community string is named "public" and has read/write access. Add the
necessary custom community strings such as one with read-only access (for general
use), and another with read/write access (for the administrator), then delete the
default "public". 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
Press Enter. When finished, press Enter and then type Reboot for changes to take
effect. The Saved Values and Current Values should now both display the changes
made (e.g., new IP address and subnet mask).
Deleting Community Strings
To delete all community strings and start over, press U. When asked, "Are you sure
you want to delete all future strings?", press Y to proceed or N to abort. Press Enter.
This function will delete ALL community strings. Use iConfig to selectively delete
community strings.
