Add community strings—the quick way | 103
Setup Guide
Here’s how it works. You give community strings to a Community Property
Group and then apply the Community Property Group to an IPv4 range.
For now, just add all your community strings to one Property Group, the “global”
Community Property Group.
Note: Community strings are case-sensitive. “PUBLIC” and “public” are two
different strings.
To add community strings to the global Community Property Group
1 Click Administration > Network configuration > Community Property
Groups.
2 Click Modify a community property group.
3 Select Community: global from the pull-down list.
4 Click Select.
5 Under the heading Add a Community String enter a string name, and select
the appropriate Type (read or write, or both).
6 Click Add.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of your community strings.
8 When you add community strings, the order is important. Are your most
frequently used community strings at the top of the list? If necessary, select
a community string and click the Move Up or Move Down button to move
it to the right place.
9 Click Submit.
Note: To assign different community strings to different IPv4 ranges, see the
next chapter, Refining Network Discovery on page 107.
