Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.5 User's Guide
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 and to send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the Dell OpenManage Essentials, 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: 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.
