Configuring the Enable Password
The enable password allows you to view current settings and make changes to the
VG248. Once set, you must use the enable password to make changes to the
VG248.
To configure the enable password, perform these steps:
Step 1
From the main menu, choose Configure.
Step 2
Choose Passwords.
Step 3
Choose Enable password.
Step 4
Enter the new password.
Configuring SNMP Settings
The VG248 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by
supporting standard MIBs. Modify the SNMP settings as appropriate for your
network management needs. You need to configure the SNMP settings if you
want to manage the VG248 remotely.
Setting Community Strings
The community string settings enable network management systems to access the
VG248 for remote management.
You can configure a read-only password, which restricts access to the device,
allowing users to view information but not to make changes. You can also
configure a read-write community string, which allows users to make changes to
the device remotely.
By default, the read-only community string is set to
public
, which provides
read-only access. If you do not set these community strings on the VG248, you
cannot manage the device remotely using the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
