Follow these steps to configure the first three items in the screen:

1.Select System Name and enter a descriptive name for the Router’s SNMP agent.

2.Select System Location and enter the router’s physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).

3.Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the router.

4.Select the SNMP Trap Version and choose either SNMP-V1 or SNMP-V2c. SNMP-V2c is a more feature-rich version, but is not supported by all vendors. Consult with your service provider.

System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Router SNMP agent for the SysName, SysLocation, and SysContact objects, respectively, in the MIB II system group. Although optional, the information you enter in these items can help a system administrator manage the network more efficiently.
