Configuring SNMP on the ELOM

The ELOM has a preinstalled SNMP agent that supports trap delivery to an SNMP management application.

To use this feature, you must integrate the platform-specific MIBs into your SNMP environment, tell your management station about your server, then configure the specific traps.

Adding Your Server to Your SNMP Environment

Add your Sun server as a managed node using your SNMP management application. See your SNMP management application documentation for further details.

Configuring Receipt of SNMP Traps

Configure a trap in your ELOM. See “Managing Alerts” on page 78, or “Configuring E-mail Notification” on page 30.

Managing SNMP User Accounts

You can add, delete, or configure SNMP user accounts from the CLI. By default, SNMP v3 is enabled, and SNMP v1 and v2c are disabled.

Adding a User Account

To add an SNMP v3 read-only user account, enter the following command:

create /SP/AgentInfo/SNMP/user/username authenticationpassword= password

To add an SNMP v1/v2c user account, enter the following command:

create /SP/AgentInfo/SNMP/communities/communityname
