Note If you are using the NAM Traffic Analyzer application, the information in this section is optional.
You can configure the SNMP agent through the CLI or the NAM Traffic Analyzer application. Before
you can use the NAM for SNMP support or in hybrid mode using an external SNMP source or a web

•SNMP MIB vari ables
•Access control for the SNMP agent
•System group settings on the NAM
To configure these parameters for NAM, perform these steps in privileged mode:

root@localhost# snmp location location-string
Note The MIB variables you enter in Step 13 and Step 14 must be valid DisplayString texts, each with a
maximum length of 64 characters.
Step 2 Set the SNMP sysContact MIB variable by entering this command:
root@localhost# snmp contact contact-string
Step 3 Set the SNMP sysName MIB variable by entering this command:
root@localhost# snmp name name-string
Note You can delete the SNMP location, SNMP contact, or SNMP name by entering the
appropriate command without any parameters.
Step 4 Set the SNMP agent community string parameter password for read-write access by entering this
command:
root@localhost# snmp community community-string rw
Step 5 Set the SNMP agent community string parameter password for read-only access by entering this
command:
root@localhost# snmp community community-string ro
Note Clear the SNMP community string with the snmp delete community community-string
