Configuring the System Description

You can specify a description for each system being managed by SNMP. This string is placed into the MIB II sysDescription object. To configure a description, include the description statement at the [edit snmp] hierarchy level:

[edit snmp]
description description; 

If the description contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks (" ").

Example: Configuring the System Description

[edit]
snmp {
    description "M40 router with 8 FPCs"; 
}
