You cannot. It uses SNMP V1 as the version number because it does not
support the complex security mechanism implemented by SNMPV2c (and largely
ignored by most vendors). It sends a V1 style request even for V2 MIB
constructs, which should work fine for all agents and all constructs. I
am not aware of any cases where this does not work. Remember that V2 is
largely a superset of V1, and that if we automatically changed the V1/V2
browser to send only V2 requests, then some V1 agents could not respond.
