Configuration

• snmp-server contact [e-mail] -> Optional information

• snmp-server community Jeremy1 [ro | rw] Configure the SNMP community strings (passwords).

  • ro = read only -> no Set messages

  • rw = read/write -> can use Set messages

• snmp-server host 192.168.1.1 version 2c Jeremy1 -> Specify the NMS, version, and community.

• snmp-server enable traps snmp linkdown linkup and snmp-server enable traps config -> Configure the Trap types to send to the NMS.

In SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, there is no encryption!

The community and message contents are sent in plain-text. This is not secure, as the packets can easily be captured and read.
