About this task

Configuring SNMP settings sets the alert destination of a device, and ensures that alerts from the device are forwarded to the server that is running SupportAssist. If the SNMP settings of a device are not configured, the status column on the Device Inventory page displays an appropriate message. You can use the Configure SNMP option to automatically configure the SNMP settings of a device.

NOTE: Configuring SNMP by using SupportAssist is not supported on devices running the following operating system and hypervisors:
- Oracle Enterprise Linux
- VMware ESXi
- Oracle Virtual Machine

Steps

Click Devices. The Devices Inventory page is displayed.
Select the device on which you want to configure the SNMP settings.
- NOTE: If SupportAssist does not support the configuration of SNMP on the device that you have selected, the Configure SNMP option is disabled.
