Configuring SNMP

You can configure up to 10 community strings on the menu−driven switch IOS by following these steps:

2.Select ConfigurationSNMP Configuration. You are then presented with three configuration options: Send Authentication Traps, Community Strings, or Trap Receivers. As with the SNMP configurations on the other two IOS configurations, we will concern ourselves with the configuration necessary to receive information to our SNMP management station.
