Chapter 2 SNMP
Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Done
To add an SNMP manager by specifying its host name, using the NetScaler command line
Important: If you specify the SNMP manager’s host name instead of its IP address, you must configure a DNS name server to resolve the host name to the SNMP manager’s IP address. For more information, see the instructions for adding a name server in the Citrix NetScaler Traffic Management Guide. For a link to the guide, see the Documentation Library.
At the NetScaler command prompt, type the following commands to set the parameters and verify the configuration:
wadd snmp manager <IPAddress>
wshow snmp manager
Example
>add nameserver 10.103.128.15 Done
>show nameserver

>add snmp manager engwiki.eng.example.net – domainResolveRetry 10
