Well, by default we will try to use the community string "public" to  
access the devices.

1) Make sure the net-snmp-utils package is installed
2) snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address] system

if that command works, then we should be able to discover the SNMP  
service. You should see "SNMP" as one of the services on the node.

If not, either SNMP is not running on your device or the community  
name is incorrect. You can edit the snmp-config.xml file and set  
individual community names or community names for ranges if you like.
