SNMP Configuration

 Read-only. Management stations with the community string can view all objects

in the MIB, but cannot modify them.

 Read-write. This gives read and write access to authorized management stations

to all objects in the MIB.

To configure community strings, enter privileged EXEC mode, and follow these steps:

Trap Managers

A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes traps. The

controller can have an unlimited number of trap managers. Trap managers are

grouped into communities. A single community may have one or more hosts, which

are specified as IP addresses.
