Configuring SNMP on Your Server

Note – There are several services that are supplied by the SNMP agent on the server. Depending on your business needs and the configuration of your current office network and management environment, you might want to take advantage of these services.

There are certain prerequisites and setup required on both the SP and the platform in order to enable and utilize each of these services:

SNMP agent on the SP

Proxy forwarder application/ProxyAgent [RFC 2271]

Agent X [RFC 2741]

The following diagram illustrates the SNMP architecture and communication paths between the SP and the platform.
