The situation

The NMS must poll R1 safely. Configure read-only SNMP and label the device.

Build this in Packet Tracer

Drag 1 router → R1, 1 switch → SW1, 1 Server → SRV (the NMS).
Connect R1 Gi0/0 → SW1 → SRV; address R1 192.168.70.1/24 and SRV 192.168.70.10/24.
On SRV → Desktop → MIB Browser you can poll R1 after config.
