Configuring the SNMP Agent
Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)—a systems management
standard—on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on
your operating system and how the operating system was installed. In most cases, SNMP is installed as part of
your operating system installation. An installed supported systems management protocol standard, such as
SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator. See "Installation Requirements" for more
information.
You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable Set operations, and send traps to
a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications
such as the Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.
NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as public. For
security reasons, change the SNMP community names from their default values. For information about changing
SNMP community names, see the appropriate section below. For additional guidelines, see the Securing an SNMP
Environment article, dated May 2003, in the Dell Power Solutions magazine. This magazine is also available at
www.dell.com/powersolutions.
NOTE: Starting in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.2, SNMP Set operations are disabled by
default in Server Administrator. Server Administrator provides support to enable or disable SNMP Set operations
in Server Administrator. 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 in Server
Administrator. For more information about the Server Administrator CLI, see the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide.
NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running Server Administrator, the
community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the system running Server Administrator.
For IT Assistant to modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the community
name used by IT Assistant must match a community name that allows Set operations on the system running
Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running
