RO means you are only allowed to read the MIB variables. RW means you can set and read MIB values. In SNMP set=write and get=read. The following config sets up both a set and get "password" It also. By default most applications use public as the RO and private as the RW. You snmp-server community myROpassword RO snmp-server community myRWpassword RW You can set up traps and other things but it should not be necessary for the PRTG application. I believe PRTG only allows gets, so you will only need to use the RO line, even though the RW line works as well.
