Cabletron Systems ESXMIM User Manual

Chapter 5: The SNMP Community Names Screen

The following definitions explain each of the three levels of access:

This access level allows reading of device parameters including read-only 
community names.

This access level allows the reading of parameters and the read-only and 
read-write community names. The read-write access level also allows the 
editing of some device parameters, not including community names.

This access level allows full management privileges.

To set a community name, perform the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the community name you want to 

change.

2. Type the new community name and press ENTER. The old 

community name text disappears and is replaced by the new 
community name.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.

4. Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen 

displays “SAVED OK”.

If you edit the super-user community name, be certain you do 
not forget it. If you do, you will be unable to perform Local 
Management functions without returning the local management 
community names to their factory default configurations. This 
will require changing a mode switch setting and restarting the 
ESXMIM.
