Setup and Administration 31
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
SNMP Set operations must be enabled on the system running Server Administrator in order to change
Server Administrator attributes using IT Assistant. To enable remote shutdown of a system from
IT Assistant, SNMP Set operations must be enabled.
NOTE: Rebooting of your system for change management functionality does not require SNMP Set operations.
To enable SNMP Set operations on 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
rocommunity
with
rwcommunity
. When edited, the new line
should read:
rwcommunity public 127.0.0.1
3
To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station
Server Administrator generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the status of sensors and other
monitored parameters. One or more trap destinations must be configured on the system running Server
Administrator for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station.
