- Log in with the akkadianuser account and password (default password = akkadianpassword)
- Select Option 5 from the menu – Appliance Manager Settings
- Select Option 5 from the Appliance Manager menu – Enable SNMP
- The menu will refresh. If you would like to enable SNMPv3, select Option 8 – Enable SNMPv3, otherwise proceed to the next step.
