(yes, y, no, n): [no] y Using legacy commands for SNMPv1 Use the snmpConfig command to configure the SNMPv1 agent and traps (see "Using the snmpConfig command" on page 59). However, if necessary for backward compatibility, you can choose to use legacy commands. 62 Configuring standard security features
