Have you tried to dig Nortetl's web site to confirm this? I'm not an
expert but my gut feeling is that anything released in the last decade
that already supports SNMP should support version 2c or above.

Here is a link to get you started:

http://www130.nortelnetworks.com/go/main.jsp?cscat=DOCUMENTATION&poid=8999

I can't actually download the documents from this page because I don't
have Nortel account but you should be able to. (and if not - where are
the manuals which arrived with the box?).
