The Cisco SNMP Agent Management Snap-in is now loaded in the console.
Saving the Snap-in View
After you have loaded the Cisco SNMP Agent Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in, you
can save that console view to a file (with an .msc file extension). The file can be launched directly instead of
repeatedly adding the snap-in to a new MMC view.
To do so, select the console and use the Save As function. Select a distinctive filename, and make sure that the
.msc file extension is maintained. The Administrative Tools (Start) menu is the default location where the file will
be saved, which makes it available for later access through the Start menu.
Configuring Community Names for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
If you are using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c you must configure a community name so that network management systems
(NMSs) can access the data provided by your server. This name is left blank during installation for security reasons.
SNMP community names are used to authenticate data exchange of SNMP information. An NMS can exchange
SNMP information only with servers that use the same community name.
To configure the community name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, do the following:
Step 1. Perform the steps in the “Installing the Cisco SNMP Agent Management Snap-in” section.
Step 2. Expand Cisco SNMP Agent Management in the left pane of the MMC plug-in.
Step 3. In the left pane under Cisco SNMP Agent, Management Community Name, and SNMP Version, highlight
the community names for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.
The Restricted Access columns appear in the right pane.
Step 4. Right-click the white space in the right pane and select Properties.
A dialog box appears.
Step 5. Click Add New Community.
Step 6. In the dialog box, under Community Information, provide a community name.
Step 7. Select the SNMP version by selecting the radio box for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.
You can enter one or more IP addresses in the IP Address field (containing "dots") and click Insert to
enable access solely for this community from the NMS with the IP address provided.
Step 8. Click Save.
The community name appears in the Configured Communities section at the top of the dialog box.
