Practical No : 16

Aim: Configure MIME and SNMP using relevant software.

Theory:

o SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol.

o SNMP is a framework used for managing devices on the internet.
o It provides a set of operations for monitoring and managing the internet.
o SNMP has two components Manager and agent.
o The manager is a host that controls and monitors a set of agents such as routers.
o It is an application layer protocol in which a few manager stations can handle a set of agents.
o The protocol designed at the application level can monitor the devices made by different
manufacturers and installed on different physical networks.
o It is used in a heterogeneous network made of different LANs and WANs connected by
routers or gateways.

Attach output like shown in below fig:

Steps :

1. Enable SNMP on Router (R1) Open the R1 console and configure SNMP Protocol with the
following router command. Before configuring SNMP, you must configure the basic
configure like, setting up IP address and basic routing configuration.
R1>enable

R1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)#snmp-server community R1 ro
 R1(config)#snmp-server community R1rw rw

R1(config)#

2. Testing SNMP from a PC

OK, the SNMP has been configured on R1 router. Now try to test it from the PC1 using MIB
Browser.
Click on PC1 and click Desktop tab, then open MIB Browser.

Attach printout like shown in below figure :

On the opened MIB browser page, click Advanced tab to open the Advanced page.

Enter the information like the screenshot or below table.

Address: 192.168.10.1. This is the R1 IP address.

Read Community: R1. It has taken from read only (ro) community name.

Write Community: R1rw, it is the name of read and write (rw) community.

From the SNMP Version, select V3 and click OK

Attach printout like shown below:

Now on the MIB browser page expend MIB tree to system and select each value then hit the GO
button to display the exact information on Router1.

That’s all, configure SNMP Protocol on routers or switches.
