Configuring SNMP on a Cisco Router

The following instructions describe how to configure SNMP on a Cisco router running IOS.

Care must always be taken when editing router configuration. If in doubt, consult your network engineer.

1. Telnet to the router:

C:\> telnet <router address>

User Access Verification

Password:<password>

2.Enter enable mode (note that the password may be different to the login password):

Router>enable

Password:<password>

3. Start configuring from the keyboard:

Router#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

4. Add a read only community “public”:

Router(config)#snmp-server community public RO

5. Enable standard SNMP traps:

Router(config)#snmp-server enable traps snmp

6. Add NetWatch as a trap receiver (to send traps with the community “public”):

Router(config)#snmp-server host <address of NetWatch> public

7. Quit config mode:

Router(config)#<CTRL-Z>

8. Store the configuration to flash:

Router(config)#wr mem
