Configure SNMPv1/v2

Configuration Condition

Before configuring SNMPv1/v2, first complete the following task:

• Configure the link-layer protocol, ensuring the normal communication of the link layer
• Configure the IP address of the interface, making the network layer of the neighboring nodes reachable

Create SNMP Community Name

SNMPv1/SNMPv2c adopts the security scheme based on the community name. SNMP community name can be regarded as the password between NMS and SNMP proxy, that is to say, SNMP proxy only accepts the management operations of the same community name and the SNMP from different community name is not responded and is dropped directly.
