When you finish the installation, open the Windows Control Panel and run the administrative tool > services.

Locate the SNMP service, right click on  it and access the properties of the service.

Configure SNMP as shown below.

As can be seen, we configured SNMP to start automatically.

The above configuration defines a read only SNMP community and configure the service to accept only SNMP packages from 192.168.0.10.

The computer with the IP 192.168.0.10 would be a server running a monitoring tool like Zabbix.

On the image above, we defined the contact person and the location of the Windows server.

On a Linux computer, install the snmpwalk utility and test the SNMP configuration using the following commands.

# apt-get install snmp
# snmpwalk –v2c –c VegetaRocks 192.168.0.50

Note! Change the community name and the IP to reflect your network environment.
