Forgotten Community string
If the read-write community string is unknown, an alternative
community key can be used. The alternative community key is unique
per ODU and can be used only in order to change the community
strings. The alternative community key is supplied with the product,
and it is recommended to keep it safe.
If both the read-write community and the alternative community key
are unavailable, then an alternative community key can be obtained
from customer support using the ODU serial number or MAC address.
The serial number is located on the product, and the MAC address is
displayed in the manager inventory tab.
When you have the alternative community key, click on the Forgot
Community button and enter the Alternative Community (
Figure 4-19 ).
Then reconfigure the read-write community string.
