Configuring Client Workstations for Desktop SNMP Services

Introduction

Introduction

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard protocol that specifies a format for collecting network management data.

With the Novell® Desktop SNMP services, NetWare client workstations are able to send status information to an SNMP management program running on an IPX™ or TCP/IP network.

Desktop SNMP services can be managed from the Novell NetWare Management System™ (NMS) software, from other industry-standard SNMP management consoles, or from other third-party management systems.

NetWare Client support for Desktop SNMP on NetWare client workstations must be set up on each client workstation that you want managed by an SNMP-based management system.

The complete setup for a Desktop SNMP client workstation requires you to complete the following tasks:

•Installing an SNMP Management System Console

•Installing the Desktop SNMP Software

•Modifying DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files

•Configuring the HRMIB.INI File
