Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.5 User's Guide

Changing the SNMP community name

NOTE: You cannot set the SNMP community name from Server Administrator. Set the community name using operating system SNMP tools.
Configuring the SNMP community names determines which systems are able to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP community name used by management applications must match an SNMP community name configured on the system running Server Administrator so that the management applications can retrieve management information from Server Administrator.
  1. Open the Computer Management window.
  2. Expand the Computer Management icon in the window, if necessary.
  3. Expand the Services and Applications icon and click Services.
  4. Scroll down the list of services until you find SNMP Service, right-click SNMP Service, and then click Properties.

    The SNMP Service Properties window is disabled.

  5. Click the Security tab to add or edit a community name.

    To add a community name:

    1. Click Add under the Accepted Community Names list.

      The SNMP Service Configuration window is displayed.

    2. Type the community name of a system that is able to manage your system (the default is public) in the Community Name box and click Add.

      The SNMP Service Properties window is displayed.

    To edit a community name:

    1. Select a community name in the Accepted Community Names list and click Edit.

      The SNMP Service Configuration window is displayed.

    2. Edit the community name in the Community Name box, and then click OK.

      The SNMP Service Properties window is displayed.

  6. Click OK to save the changes.
