SNMP configuration on H3C switches

Step1. Login to Switch with admin access. As soon as you enter your credential, you will be in user mode. In this mode you can only view the command output.

Step2. To make configuration changes you must enter in Systemview. It is similar to the exec mode of cisco switches.

Step3. Configure the Read only SNMP version 2 string. We can also configure the access list 2090 to restrict the snmp communication with specific hosts.
