Configuring Initial Setup (NM-NAM) – SNMP Configuration
The data collected and stored in the NAM can also be accessed using other SNMP management. Before
retrieving any data from the NAM or setting any parameters on it, you must configure the NAM SNMP agent
with community strings. Then you must also configure the monitoring application to use the same strings as
you configured for the NAM in order to retrieve any data.
The SNMP parameters can be set via the NAM CLI or through the NAM web interface.
The community strings set for the NAM SNMP agent must be the same as the community strings of the host
switch. For example,
[e-mail]# snmp community community-string rw
[e-mail]# snmp community community-string ro
The NM-NAM is now configured and ready to use for traffic monitoring!
