Changing the Default Values of SNMP Community Strings

The controller has commonly known default values of “public” and “private” for the read-only and

read-write SNMP community strings. Using these standard values presents a security risk. Therefore,

Cisco strongly advises that you change these values.

Using the GUI to Change the SNMP Community String Default Values

Follow these steps to change the SNMP community string default values through the controller GUI.

Step 1 Click Management and then Communities under SNMP. The SNMP v1 / v2c Community page appears

(see Figure 4-5).
