> # Using SNMP to Retrieve Information from JUNOS Routing Platforms and Other Network Devices

> You can use SNMP to retrieve information from a JUNOS router or a network device. For example, if you create a router initialization script that uses SNMP, you need to specify the SNMP communities that are on the router.

> We recommend that you specify SNMP communities for each virtual router. You can also configure global default SNMP communities.

> You can configure global default SNMP communities that are used if a VR does not exist on the router or if the community strings have not been configured for the VR.

> To configure global default SNMP communities:

> 1. Click Configure, expand Shared>SAE>Configuration>Driver, and then click SNMP.

>    The SNMP pane appears.

> 2. Click Create, enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and then click Apply.
