"snmp-server enable traps" enables the sending of SNMP traps, and "snmp-server host" sets the host to send them to. If you are going to generate bandwidth graphs with Cacti, MRTG or something similar all you need to do is set the SNMP community, like so: snmp-server community public RO If you want to limit which hosts can perform snmp queries, you would do something like this: access-list 1 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 snmp-server community public RO 1 Joe Heaton wrote: > I need to enable SNMP on my Catalyst.
