• SNMP MIBs. Make sure the NMS console you use has the following SNMP MIBs: SNMPV2-
SMI, SNMPV2-TC, SNMPV2-CONF, and INET-ADDRESS-MIB. The Control4 MIBs
reference these MIBs.
These sections provide information about how to set up and use the SNMP Configuration Agent.

2.6.2 Configuring the SNMP Configuration Agent
Use the Control4® Composer Pro Agents view to use and manage SNMP devices, including; adding
trap targets; setting up route information; enabling SNMP; configuring SNMP settings; setting up
SNMP system and user variables, and more.
You can change the SNMP Configuration Agent settings either using Director or Virtual Director.
Note: If you use Virtual Director, even though you click Apply to save your changes, they will not take
effect until the project displays and the SNMP-enabled devices are online.
Note: If you use SSH and VI at the command line to edit a configuration file, and later change any
settings in the Agents view, your changes in Composer will overwrite those made at the command
line.
Prerequisites
To use SNMP in a Control4 system, you need:
1. An NMS console or an installed MIB browser and the three (3) Control4 MIBs (installed by default
with Composer 2.2): CONTROL4-DIRECTOR-MIB, CONTROL4-GLOBAL-REG, and
CONTROL4-TEST-MIB. These MIBs are located in Program>Files>Control4>Composer
2.2>SNMP>MIBs/ on the computer where Composer resides.
2. SNMP MIBs. Make sure the NMS console you use has the following SNMP MIBs: SNMPV2-SMI,
SNMPV2-TC, SNMPV2-CONF, and INET-ADDRESS-MIB (Dave to provide links). The Control4
MIBs reference these MIBs.
3. SNMP Configuration Agent. To configure SNMP in a Control4 system you must add the SNMP
Configuration Agent in the Composer Pro Agents view. See Example: Program Using the SNMP
Configuration Agent to add the agent.
Procedure
1. Start Composer and connect to a Director.
2. Click Agents.
3. In Agents, select the SNMP Configuration Agent, or add it if it's not already in the list.
4. When you are finished with your changes, click Apply at the top of the page.
