Owner's Manual

SNMP agent, it sends an object identifier to the SNMP agent to identify itself as a SMUX peer. Since the object identifier must be configured with the SNMP
agent, Server Administrator adds the following line to the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmpd.conf or /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, during installation if it
does not exist:
smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1

Enabling SNMP Access From Remote Hosts
The default SNMP agent configuration on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems gives read-only access to the entire MIB tree for the public
communityfromthelocalhostonly.ThisconfigurationdoesnotallowSNMPmanagementapplicationssuchasITAssistantrunningonotherhoststodiscover
and manage Server Administrator systems properly. If Server Administrator detects this configuration during installation, it logs a message to the operating
system log file, /var/log/messages, to indicate that SNMP access is restricted to the local host. You must configure the SNMP agent to enable SNMP access
from remote hosts if you plan to manage the system by using SNMP management applications from remote hosts.
ToenableSNMPaccessfromaspecificremotehosttoasystemrunningServerAdministrator,edittheSNMPagentconfigurationfile,/etc/snmpd.conf
or /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:

1. Find the line that reads:
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1

2. Edit or copy this line, replacing 127.0.0.1 with the remote host IP address. When edited, the new line should read:
rocommunity public IP_address

3. To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
To enable SNMP access from all remote hosts to a system running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmpd.conf
or /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:

1. Find the line that reads:
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1

2. Edit this line by removing 127.0.0.1. When edited, the new line should read:
rocommunity public

Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community name 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 Server Administrator system, so the management applications can retrieve
management information from Server Administrator.
To change the default SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent
configuration file, /etc/snmpd.conf or /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:

1. Find the line that reads:
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1

2. Edit this line by replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line should read:
rocommunity community_name 127.0.0.1

3. To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Enabling SNMP Set Operations
NOTE: For security reasons, it is advisable to restrict SNMP access to specific remote hosts if possible.
NOTE: You can enable SNMP access from multiple specific remote hosts by adding a rocommunity directive for each remote host.
