Configuring The SNMP Agent

Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP—a systems management standard— on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on your operating system and how the operating system was installed. In most cases, SNMP is installed as part of your operating system installation. An installed supported systems management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator.

You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.

NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as public. For security reasons, you must rename the default SNMP community names. For information about renaming the SNMP community names, see Changing The SNMP Community Name.

NOTE: SNMP Set operations are disabled by default in Server Administrator version 5.2 or later. You can enable or disable SNMP Set operations using the Server Administrator SNMP Configuration page under Preferences or the Server Administrator command line interface (CLI). For more information about the Server Administrator CLI, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.

NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name that allows Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be configured to send traps to the system running IT Assistant.

The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each supported operating system:

•Configuring the SNMP Agent For Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems

•Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux

•Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

•Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported VMware ESX 4.X Operating Systems to Proxy VMware MIBs

•Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X Operating Systems
