Typically, 5-second timeout and 3-second retry values on an SNMP server are sufficient for both LAN

and WAN applications. If you experience a timeout with these values, increase the timeout value to

greater than 3 seconds, and increase the retry value to greater than 2 on your SNMP server.

Group ACLs override user ACLs in SNMPv3 configurations when both are configured and the user is

part of the group.

Create a Community

The management station generates requests to either retrieve or alter the value of a management object and

is called the SNMP manager. A network element that processes SNMP requests is called an SNMP agent.

An SNMP community is a group of SNMP agents and managers that are allowed to interact. Communities

are necessary to secure communication between SNMP managers and agents; SNMP agents do not

respond to requests from management stations that are not part of the community.

FTOS enables SNMP automatically when you create an SNMP community and displays

must specify whether members of the community may only retrieve values (read), or retrieve and alter

values (read-write).

To create an SNMP community:

Choose a name for the community.
