[clug-talk] OT: Cisco SNMP Question

[Johnny Stork]

I am trying to poll (snmpwalk) a Cisco router (for a monitoring 
application running on a Linux server)and have been given only the 
information

"Here's the existing string: snmp-server community sq@!4$ RO"

which is not clear to me, not being familiar with IOS or Cisco router 
management.

If I portscan the router, I dont see port 161 or 162 being open:

Not shown: 1674 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
23/tcp   open  telnet
443/tcp  open  https
1720/tcp open  H.323/Q.931
2000/tcp open  callbook
5060/tcp open  sip


And so running snmpwalk does not return anything:

root at dev:~# snmpwalk -c community -v 1 192.168.110.254


And I assume by the info I was given below, the read-only community name 
is "community" or maybe "sq"

When I requested from the "CIsco guy" to enable snmp polling from a 
specific server, and with the community string "public" I was given this:

"Here's the existing string: snmp-server community sq@!4$ RO"

-----------

Are there any Cisco people that could help me understand the meaning of 
this line, and what I should be asking the "Cisco guy" in order to 
enable snmp polling against the/any Cisco router from a specific  IP?
