In this Lab we required the Cisco Packet Tracer which you can install on your computer or Virtual Machine.
Step 1: Create Lab Setup
Now, try to configure SNMP Protocol on Cisco router and using a PC as Management Information Base
MIB. So create your own lab within Cisco Packet Tracer as provided in the picture below:
Add simple PDUs from:
PC0 PC1
PC1 PC2
PC0 Router

Step 2: Add IP addresses to Router and PCs as given in below mentioned Table.
Device IP Address
Router 192.168.2.1
PC0 192.168.2.2
PC1 192.168.2.3
PC2 192.168.2.4
Step 2.1: Enable SNMP on Router (R1)
1. Click on Router
2. Below window will be opened

4. Enter these commands in router CLI.
1. Router>enable
2. Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
3. Router(config)#snmp-server community nsm ro
%SNMP-5-WARMSTART: SNMP agent on host Router is undergoing a warm start
nsm is the password for SNMP-server community read only (ro)
4. Router(config)#snmp-server community nsm rw
nsm is the password for SNMP-server community read only (ro)
Step 3: Test SNMP from PC
OK, the SNMP has been configured on R1 router. Now try to test it from the PC1 using MIB Browser.
This is a step wise process:
1. Click on PC1 and click Desktop tab, then open MIB Browser.
2. Click on MIB browser and Click on Desktop

(a) Address: 192.168.2.1
(b) Read Community: nsm
(c) Write Community: nsm
