Using SNMP to Retrieve Information from Network Devices

You can use SNMP to retrieve information from a network device. For example, if you create a script that uses SNMP, you need to specify the SNMP communities that are on the network device.

We recommend that you specify SNMP communities for each virtual router object. (See Adding Virtual Router Objects.) You can also configure global default SNMP communities.

Configuring Global SNMP Communities in the SRC Software

You can configure global default SNMP communities that are used if a VR does not exist on the router or the community strings have not been configured for the VR. To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure global default SNMP communities:

  1. In the navigation pane, select a directory configuration object for the SAE that you want to configure.
  2. Select the Router tab, and expand the SNMP section.
  3. Edit or accept the default values in the fields.

See Global SNMP Community Fields.

  1. Select File > Save.
  2. Right-click the configuration file, and select SDX System Configuration > Export to LDAP Directory.

Global SNMP Community Fields

In SDX Configuration Editor, you can edit the following fields in the Router pane in an SAE configuration file.

Read-Only Community String

Read-Write Community String
