string
(that the destination device has been
configured to accept) and press
Enter
. Select whether the trap is for SNMP version

or

and press

(C) - Creating SNMP Community Strings
The default community string is named “public” and has read/write access. It is

general use and another with read/write access for the administrator) and test them
before deleting “public.” To create a new community string, go to the main
configuration screen and press
C
. Enter the name of the new community (up to 16
characters, no spaces) and press
Enter
. Next, type one of the following to assign the
community string’s access rights:
•
R
= read-only access •
W
= read/write access •
Enter
= abort
