Configuring Your System to Send SNMP Traps to a Management Station
NOTE: Rebooting your system for change management functionality does not require SNMP Set operations.
NOTE: In Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.3 and later, SNMP Set Operations are disabled by default in Server Administrator. Server
Administrator provides support to enable or disable SNMP Set operations. You can use the Server Administrator SNMP Configuration page under
Preferences or the Server Administrator command line interface (CLI) to enable or disable SNMP Set Operations. For more information on enabling or
disabling SNMP Set operations in Server Administrator, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide or the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide.
