Where do I find my SNMP string for monitoring with...

Solarwinds. The only devices the scan shows are my laptop I'm running it from, printers, printserver and a couple of switches using the default string.

I see a server community value but it's not working. I might be oversimplifying this a lot.

How do I know if SNMP is configured in my PIX 515?

Do you have elevated privlidges? If so do a show config and tward the bottom of the config it will show your smtp server settings.

Here is how you basically set up snmp for polling and traps from the pix.

iii.iii.iii.iii is the server that you will be polling with or sending traps to.

snmp-server host inside iii.iii.iii.iii poll
snmp-server host inside iii.iii.iii.iii trap
snmp-server community yourstring
snmp-server enable traps

Hi Network Ghost-

This was something I wanted to ask but never knew how to start my inquiry.

The line that states snmp-server community yourstring.. could you explain what the purpose of that line is.. is this where one defines group privileges? not sure..

thx for ay support you can provide.

Its different on the Pix. Basically you only have read access on the Pix. Cant speak for 7.0. The string is where you define just that. The string that is used to verify valid snmp talk.
