What is the minimum configuration necessary for a Junos device to respond to SNMP requests?

To enable a Junos device to respond to SNMP requests, configuring the SNMP version is a crucial step, as it determines the protocol specifications the device will use to communicate with SNMP managers. By setting the SNMP version to v1, the device is prepared to understand and process requests compliant with version 1 of the Simple Network Management Protocol, allowing it to respond to queries regarding its status and statistics.

In order for SNMP to function properly, it must support a specific version, and without this configuration, the device will not be able to communicate effectively with SNMP management tools. While other configurations can enhance SNMP's functionality or security, such as defining communities or targets, the specification of the SNMP version is fundamental to establish communication.
