Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported Red Hat
Enterprise Linux
Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the ucd-snmp or
net-snmp SNMP agent. 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 IT Assistant, perform the procedures
described in the following sections.
NOTE: See your operating system documentation for additional details on SNMP
configuration.
SNMP Agent Access Control Configuration
The management information base (MIB) branch implemented by Server
Administrator is identified by the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674. Management
applications must have access to this branch of the MIB tree to manage
systems running Server Administrator.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the default SNMP agent
configuration gives read-only access for the "public" community only to the
MIB-II "system" branch (identified by the 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 OID) of the MIB tree.
This configuration does not allow management applications to retrieve or
change Server Administrator or other systems management information
outside of the MIB-II "system" branch.
