V1 rough draft, hard to try and narrow down such a broad subject...

Probably need at least 2 pages maybe 3, to dig into some more detail...

My first attempt anyway, because i really like this format for quick reference, i use the other ones all the time, real world, and study...

Hi Garry,

thanks for sharing your work. It would be great if you could try to simplify it a bit more. Maybe you should also just list some key points in the upper left versions box instead of writing complete sentences.

Regards,

Jochen

would be nice to see an example of the snmp config with every piece broken down, i think that would help to clarify some of the commands

So here is a simple config for snmp:

First we want to restrict access to the device so a simple access list is created.
access-list 20 remark access for snmp
access-list 20 permit 192.168.142.55
access-list 20 permit 192.168.142.99
access-list 20 permit 192.168.1.5
access-list 20 permit 192.168.5.33
Now if just version 1 is going to be setup, next is one simple line:
snmp-server community RO 20
---above-------------

The command to configure is "snmp-server community"; next comes the password, then the "RO" is for read-only access and the "20" is for the access list.

For a standard I have seen and have used it also
set the packet size, some contact info, a location and an engineID.
Example below:
snmp-server engineID local 00000000425686772809
snmp-server packetsize 4096
snmp-server location Orange Hostspot Water Tower, VA
snmp-server contact ISP in Blacksbug - TDK Networks - (540)792-7743

If using an access list with the community string, there is not much reason to use "snmp-server host".

This is for using snmp version 1.
