How do I configure my PIX 506 ver5.1(2) for SNMP

[kirk]

I am trying to configure snmp on my PIX 506 using the commands below without success. Help.

Logged in as enable...

Step 1 Identify the IP address of the SNMP management station with the snmp-server host command.

Pixfirewall#snmp-server host 172.x.x.x

When I do this I get the following message.

Pixfirewall#Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.

Please help.

Hi,

A couple of things you're missing. First, you need to be in global config mode(config t), then you need to issue: snmp-server host inside 172.X.X.X

(substitute interface ID depending on where the request comes from..inside, outside, etc)

Lastely, issue: snmp-server community "snmp string"

You should be all set
