Creating Virtual Routers

In the NMC-RX application, you must use the Device-wide Explorer in the Device Workshop to create a virtual router:

1. In the Device-wide Explorer, click Virtual Routers.
2. Right-click, select Create, and click Virtual Router.

The Create Virtual Router dialog box appears. Depending on which SNMP version of the software you are using, slightly different dialog boxes appear.

SNMPv2c dialog box:

SNMPv3 dialog box:

3. Type a name for the virtual router in the Virtual Router Name text box. The name can be up to 15 characters long.
4. (SNMPv2c version only) Set the parameters for each tab. See Configuring Virtual Routers.
5. Click OK. The virtual router is created.
6. (SNMPv3 version only) Using the CLI, configure SNMPv3 users on the newly created virtual router. You will be unable to successfully configure the virtual router using the NMC-RX application until you complete this step.
