Configuring SNMP Community Strings

Community strings are text strings that act as a password to authenticate messages 

sent between the Hosting Solution Engine and the devices containing and SNMP 

agent. Community strings allow you to limit access to network devices.

You must verify that the correct community strings are specified to allow access 

to your network devices. If you do not specify the correct community strings, the 

Hosting Solution Engine cannot communicate with the network devices. (See 

Setting Up Your Network in the Getting Started Guide

.)

The Hosting Solution Engine uses the read community string for discovery. The 

Hosting Solution Engine uses the write community strings to configure devices. 

Default community strings are public for the read only string and public for the 

read write string. If the community strings on your devices differ from these 

settings, you must edit the community strings before initiating the discovery 

process.
