Setting Community Strings
Community strings define access rights for reading and writing SNMP
data objects for a device.
The community strings (read and write) for an IntraStack are manually
set in the IntraStack 6014DSB via the unit’s console port.
In order to access an IntraStack with IntraSpection, the community
strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the IntraStack
6014DSB.
▲ Important: It is recommended that you set the commu-
nity strings for an IntraStack 6014DSB in IntraSpection
before you attempt to perform any network management
functions.
This section describes how to set the community strings in IntraSpec-
tion to match those set in the IntraStack 6014DSB.
To set the community strings in IntraSpection:
1
