Cisco 1720 SNMP Configuration

[OWFCUIT]

I'm having some trouble setting up SNMP on a Cisco 1720. I have the Cisco document "Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)" that has been printed out, but i'm just lost as to where to start out. I'm in the router, and from what i see, there are a few ways of setting it up. Do i need a server-engine id? I would like to get SNMP set up so that we could pull Traffic Info using STG. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

If all you need is to pull stats from a device and you are not interested in setting up encryped SNMP messages between the two, the following should suffice for you:

snmp-server community <snmpstring> RO 69
snmp-server ifindex persist
snmp-server host a.b.c.d <snmpstring>

where a.b.c.d is your STG host

kiscokid, aren't you missing the access list explanation?
like this?

snmp-server community <snmpstring> RO 69
!
access-list 69 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 69 deny any log

This access list would allow only devices the 192.168.1.0 network to poll your router, right?
