For detailed information on configuring community strings through the Web interface, refer to
the device's User's Manual.
Configuring Community Strings via the ini File
The following ini file parameters are used to configure community strings:
■ SNMPREADONLYCOMMUNITYSTRING_<x> = '#######'
■ SNMPREADWRITECOMMUNITYSTRING_<x> = '#######'
Where <x> is a number from 0 through 4. Note that the '#' character represents any
alphanumeric character. The maximum length of the string is 19 characters that can include
only the following:
■ Upper- and lower-case letters (a to z, and A to Z)
■ Numbers (0 to 9)
■ Hyphen (-)
■ Underline (_)

configure the trap community string, the EMS must also use the snmpTargetMIB.

1. Add a new row to the snmpCommunityTable with CommunityName v2user.

the trap community string. (See below.)
