SNMP on cisco router

[daveporter123]

I want to configure SNMP on my cisco 26xx and 36xx series routers, i have solarwinds configure on my one of the desktop now i want to configure the SNMP to make communication between both Solarwinds and cisco routers, then what are the configuration and understanding require in order to make it function properly. I am also looking for some good link for the same.

Always a good place to start (google):

try: cisco snmp univercd

snmp is quite simple to configure, at least for basic stuff.

it all starts with the snmp command.

to get started in Solarwainds you just need the following command

(config)#snmp-server community RO

Uhh that's pretty dangerous. You might want something like-

(config)#snmp-server community RO 10

(config)#access-list 10 remark Allow SNMP

(config)#access-list 10 permit

The better way to congfigure SNMP on router is as follows.

(config)#access-list 50 remark **** SolarWinds Server ***

(config)#access-list 50 permit 10.1.1.1

Suppose "10.1.1.1" is ip of your Solarwind Server.

(config)#snmp-server community NY-RTR2611-01 RO 50

(config)#snmp-server trap-source Loopback0

(config)#snmp-server enable traps

(config)#snmp-server host 10.1.1.1 NY-RTR2611-01

Here "NY-RTR2611-01" is snmp string you can set it as you want. hope it helps.
