Snmp Management

Router Configuration Fundamentals

For help managing routers on your network, you can use 3Com Network Director software to discover, map, and display network links and IP devices.

To allow Network Director to monitor your routers, you must first configure SNMP

V1 and SNMP Trap support with the following commands:

[3Com] snmp-agent sys-info version v1

[3Com] snmp-agent community read <read-community-string>

[3Com] snmp-agent community write <write-community-string>

[3Com] snmp-agent trap enable

In this example, <addr> is the address of the PC on which you have installed

Network Director.

■Users can enter <?> at any time to get online help.

■Provide prompt help information for user’s convenience.

■Provide network diagnostic tools, such as Tracet and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of the network.
