This is an SNMP or simple network management protocol lab, this lab consists of a PC connected to a
switch, which in turn is connected to two routers.
We're going to run SNMP on the routers, if you want to
you can also enable SNMP on the switch and check information on the switch in a similar way to what
we're doing on the routers.
The tasks that you need to complete in this lab include enabling SNMP on both router 1 and router 2.
So on router 1, which is a 2911, and on router 2, which is an ISR, configure SNMP
with community string public for read-only and private for read to
write.
Then use the MIB browser on the PC to view the hostname of router 1 and router 2. So on this PC, go to
desktop MIB browser put in the IP address of the router that you want to check.
You can get the IP address information by looking at the router.
So as an example, show IP interface brief shows me that router 1
has this IP address configured on Gigabit 00, so in the MIB browser, put that IP address in, browse the MIB
tree and then get the router name.
Then view the interfaces on router 1
using the MIB browser, look at interface types, view the routing table, the OSPF area router idea of router
1 as well as the OSPF neighbors of router 1.
So these are read SNMP commands that you're going to be sending to the routers, but then you need to
change the name of router 1 or r1 to router 1 using the MIB browser on the PC.
Now you can do more than what I've listed here.
These tasks just give you some ideas of the things that you can do using SNMP between a PC and some routers.
So if you want to try other things, then do that
but you have some tasks to get you used to using SNMP as a bonus, which you can also do, is run simulation
mode and then view the S&P messages sent between the PC and the routers.
So actually have a look at the SNMP messages going back and forth between the PC and the routers.
So can you complete this llab? Download the attached packet tracer file and see if you can complete
the lab yourself.
Otherwise, watch the next video where I complete the lab.
