Question : CISCO PIX 501 - SNMP

Hi There

I have checked my pix and i have no snmp running or active

If it were a new pix which has never had snmp enabled how would i set it up as in (names,ip,port and so on)

Please supply the command line for me from start to finish - I AM NOT TO HOT WITH PIX

Here is my current config on the pix 501....

Answer : CISCO PIX 501 - SNMP

i am sure you have seen the command line
"snmp-server community public"
in this line "public" is the read key or password which the snmp software will use to get the snmp info from the PIX.
generally public is used as default which is not good if you dont want other people on your network to be able to reach snmp management info of the fw.

so if you dont want to change the "public"; next step is to enter the same word ("public") in your SNMP software community string box.
