Disabling The Snmp Agent; Configuring Community Strings - Cisco 3845 - Security Bundle Router Software Manual

Configuring SNMP

Disabling the SNMP Agent

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable the SNMP agent:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
no snmp-server
Step 3 end
Step 4 show running-config
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
The no snmp-server global configuration command disables all running versions (Version 1,
Version 2C, and Version 3) on the device. No specific Cisco IOS command exists to enable SNMP. The
first snmp-server global configuration command that you enter enables all versions of SNMP.
