RE: i need help

You don't need SNMP to enable VoIP services on your network. SNMP is simply a management protocol that can provide you with statistical data on your router's performance, and any other SNMP-enabled devices on your network.
 
VoIP is the transmission of voice frames on atraditional IP network, either your LAN, WAN or the Internet. It's basically a packet switched voice service, as opposed to the legacy circuit switched networks from our local PSTN's.
 
Setting up VoIP requires some special hardware and software configurations on a router, including catering for other parameters such as whether you will need an H.323 gateway, what kind of signalling you will use [E&M, CCS or the older CAS], whether you have HDNMs [High Density Network Modules] such as an E-1/T-1 controller with on-board PVDMs [Packet Voice Density Modules].
 
It takes alot more to configure your routers and network for VoIP, but it's not difficult. With the right MIBs, SNMP will simply give your graphical data on the performance of your voice components,. such as, how many calls you handle every 5 minutes, how many DSPs are used relative to how many calls you make/receive, and generally, how much bandwidth you are using on your IP network to handle these calls. However, it can also be used to make configuration changes on your router, and other SNMP-enabled devices, although I would recommend this.
