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
