SNMP Configurations

SNMP functionality is VERY limited in Packet Tracer!

  1. Configure the following SNMP communities on R1:
    read-only: Cisco1
    read/write: Cisco2

  2. Use SNMP ‘Get’ messages via the MIB browser on PC1 to check the following:
    -How long has R1 been running? (system uptime)
    -What is the currently configured hostname on R1?
    -How many interfaces does R1 have?
    -What are those interfaces?

+check what other information you can learn about R1 via SNMP Get messages.

  1. Use an SNMP ‘Set’ message from PC1 to change the hostname of R1.

1. Configure the following SNMP communities on R1:

read-only: Cisco1
read/write: Cisco2
