Cisco Router - How to find out the SNMP string
Hi. I am a newbie to Cisco routers/switches and their commands.
We are having a network performance assessment done on our network and to access the information on our Cisco routers, the SNMP string is needed. I have only been able to find out how to configure the SNMP. I wasn't sure if this was some sort of safety feature so that the string could not be found by an unwanted user.
I have tinkered with the show snmp command, but am looking for either a different command or what I need to add to the show snmp command.
Thanks for your help.
