Note

You cannot change the name of a community string.

6. Use the Status option to either enable or disable the community

string. A disabled community string cannot be used to access the
switch.

7. Use the Access Mode option to change the access mode of the

community string. If you specify Read Only, the community string will
only allow you to view the MIB objects on the switch. If you specify
Read/Write, the community string will allow you to both view and
change the SNMP MIB objects on the switch.

8. Use the Allow Any Status option to change the open and close status

of the community string. If there is no check in the box next to the
option, the community string is closed; only those workstations
whose IP addresses are assigned to the community string can use it.
If there is a check in the box, then the status is open, meaning that any
SNMP management workstation can use it to access the switch.

9. If the community string as closed, enter, delete, or modify the IP

addresses of up to eight management workstations in the Manager IP
Address fields. These are the management workstations that can use
the string.

10. If you want the switch to send traps, enter, delete, or modify the IP

addresses of up to eight trap receivers in the Trap Receiver IP Address
fields.

11. Click Apply.

The modified community string is now available on the switch.

12. To permanently save the changes, use the Save Changes button in

the General tab. For directions, refer to Saving Your Parameter
Changes on page 577.
