Configuring Client Workstations for Desktop SNMP Services

Installing the Desktop SNMP Software

Installing the Desktop SNMP Software

The Desktop SNMP software includes a collection of files that support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using the NetWare Virtual Loadable Module™ (VLM) technology.

Support for the Internet Packet Exchange™ (IPX) transport and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transports is also provided.

•Desktop SNMP and Management Information Base (MIB) Support Files

The Desktop SNMP VLM™ programs let remote network management systems monitor the IPX™ or UDP/IP protocol stack running on client workstations.

Desktop SNMP also allows remote and local SNMP client workstations complete access to the Management Information Base (MIB) for managing workstation resources.

Desktop SNMP supports the following three MIB-II groups:

•System and SNMP groups

•Interfaces groups

•TCP/IP groups

The following files must exist in the NetWare Client directory for each client workstation.
