Removing Trap Destinations
To remove all trap destinations, press K. Press Y to continue to confirm or N to abort
and then, press Enter. To selectively remove community strings, use iConfig to
configure the device.
Creating Community Strings
Community strings add a level of security to a network. The default community string
is named “public” and has read/write access. “Public” should be replaced with
custom community strings such as one with read-only access (for general use), the
other with read/write access (for the administrator).
Steps:
1. Type C on the main configuration screen.
2. Enter the name of the new community (up to 16 characters, no spaces) and
press Enter.
3. Type one of the following to assign the community string’s access rights:
R = read-only access
W = read/write access
Enter = abort
4. After entering R or W, press Enter.
5. To finish, press Enter, and reboot.
Deleting Community Strings
To delete all community strings, perform the following:
1. Press U. The “Are you sure you want to delete all future strings?” prompt
displays.
2. Press Y to proceed, N to abort.
3. Press Enter.
This function will delete ALL community strings. To selectively delete community
strings, use iConfig to configure the device.
Ending the Session
Be sure to press E to end a serial port or Telnet/HyperTerminal session, before
disconnecting the cable. This will stop the continuous stream of data to the serial
port.
