SNMP
What is SNMP and how it works?
SNMP works by sending messages, called protocols data units PDUs to devices within your network that speak SNMP, using these requests, network admins can track virtually any data values they specify, all of the information SNMP tracks can be provided to a product that asks for it.
It is widely used protocol for monitoring the health and welfare of network equipment.
MIP Management information base is a data base used for managing the entities in a communication network, most often associated with the simple network management protocol, the term is also used more generically in contexts such as in OSI/IOS network management model.
Here in our network, we have to networks, the interfaces facing the switch are configured.
Configure SNMP:
On Router1:
# snmp-server community read ro
# snmp-server community write wr
On Router2
# snmp-server community read ro
# snmp-server community write wr
On the PC
Go to the MIB browser
 On the address bar type 172.16.1.1
 On the read community bar type read
 On the write community type write
 Snmp version 2
 Then click ok
On the snmp MIBs tree
Expand the tree by clicking on the arrow
 MIB tree
 Router_std MIBs
 .iso
 .org
 .dod
 Internet
 Mgmt.
 .mib-2
 System
 Here you can click on the sysUpTime,
 Make sure operation on the upper right is set to GET and then click GO.
This would tell you how much time the system was up
Highlight the system, then click GO, this would show the system name.
Clicking on the interfaces, then highlighting innumber, this would show how many interfaces for the system.
If you click back on the sysname, then click on the operation and scroll down to SET, a window will pop up,
On the data type, choose cotetstring, then on the value bar type the desire name you want for the router, for example R1, then hit ok, then hit go, it will change the router name to R1.
On the physical router, click enter, you will notice it changed the hostname to R1.
Do the same on Router 2.

Thanks for this. Just finished my A+ and working on Network+ but using packet tracer for labs.

Thanks a lot, I really benefited much from this video .By the way, this the area description of my graduation project, you can add videos if possible more with a complex topology

I get an error that says, "SNMP Commad Error No such name error". I followed every step that you shown in the video. Both my RO and RW have the same community string. What did I do wrong?
