Hi ,

How to enable snmp in cisco devices.

Any one know that you default community string for Solrawinds ?

[jj27]

The command is snmp-server community YourString RO  (or RW if you want read/write).

I would recommend not using any default community string on your devices.  I believe in SolarWinds you program a community string when you add the network device to it so you can pick what string you want to use.

community strings are version 2 which are clear text.  Version 3 offers encryption.  To enable traps on your cisco devices use snmp-server enable trap (doing so will enable all traps on your device)

snmp-server community <community_name>
snmp-server ifindex persist
snmp-server trap-source <loopback>
snmp-server host <host_ip> version 2c <Community_Name>
