Trouble with SNMP

I am completely lost on SNMP

I have read articles and see what SNMP is about, but am trying to understand it further. I am currently setting up Nagios, and need to define SNMP traps and Community strings on my servers and switches. What is the fasteset and best case way to set these up. Is there a super aetricle that explains this information?

Thanks!

You'll probably have to configure the network gear manually, but if you're using Windows Servers or PCs in a Domain environment there's probably a Group Policy you can define for the domain to configure all the traps you need, and when applied the policy automatically configures the machines.

Not wanting to be picky but questioning the added value of myin68's response compared to MidnightOne and myself, and wondering if an equal split is fair.
