After installing many ITEM and ER implementations this is what I do. (Assuming your read-only community is "READ" and read-write is "WRITE" for example)
1. Control panel --> Services --> SNMP Service then click on properties
2. Click on Security tab First --> Add your "Read-Only"(READ) and or "Read-Write" Communities
This will allow SNMP Stations to poll your CCM as long as the Communities Match. If you would like your CCM to send Traps to NMS Stations then:
3. Click on Traps Tab --> Manually Enter the Community name and then click "Add to List" and then you must add your TRAP Destination below and click on add.
4. You must restart your SNMP Services and SNMP Trap Service (and all dependencies)
If it is not working bust out etherreal to see what is happening. Perhaps your NMS Station is not working properly.
How are you planning on using SNMP here? Do you have ITEM or an NMS Trap Station that polls devices? If so then configure your routers to support your communities.
snmp-server community READ RO
snmp-server community WRITE RW
snmp-server enable traps
