Setting Community Strings
Community strings define access rights for reading and writing SNMP
data objects for a device.
The community strings (read community and write community) for the
SuperStack II Switch 1000 are manually set in the device via its console
port. In order to access the device with IntraSpection, the community
strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the device.
▲ Important: It is recommended that you set the commu-
nity strings for the device 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 SuperStack II Switch 1000.
▲ Important: You must know the community strings of
the SuperStack II Switch 1000 in order to correctly set
them in IntraSpection. Refer to the SuperStack II
Switch 1000’s User’s Guide for instructions on viewing
the device’s community strings.
