To enable the SNMP Agent, do the following:

Figure 3-19: SNMP
2 Enter the following information, depending on the version(s) of the SNMP
protocol supported by your NMS, and the level of security required:
• Community Name (v1, v2): This is the read-only password. This entry is
blank by default - you have to create one for the service to work. (If this
entry is left blank, SNMP v1 or v2 service will be disabled.) The minimum
number of characters entered is 1 and the maximum number of
characters entered is 30. The default name is "public". If you want to use
SNMP v1 or v2, enter the community name. Otherwise, leave this entry
blank.
• Security Name (v3): This is the read-only 'user name' used for SNMP v3.
This entry should be set to a value that is only known by the network
administrator. The minimum number of characters entered is 1 and the
maximum number of characters entered is 30.
• Security Pass Phrase: This is the 'password' for SNMP v3. The minimum
number of characters entered is 8 and the maximum number of
characters entered is 30.
Note: If you want to use SNMP v3, enter the Security Name and Security Pass Phrase.
Otherwise, leave these entries blank.
• System Contact: This field should contain the identification of the contact
person for this SNMP-managed node.
