Migration of Existing Community Strings

When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x, the existing community strings are assigned to either a predefined group or, if previously assigned to a custom access type, a group of the same name. All community strings that had a security level of normal are assigned to either the normalRO or normalRW group. All community strings that had a security level of admin are assigned to either the adminRO or adminRW group. All community strings that were assigned to a custom access type, are assigned to a group of the same name; however, that group is not automatically created. You must manually create the group.

Table�21 lists the groups to which existing community strings are assigned when you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x.
