Setup and Administration 35
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 deleting 127.0.0.1. When edited, the new line
should read:
rocommunity public
3
To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent
by typing:
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community name determines which management
stations are able to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP
community name used by management applications must match the SNMP
community name configured on the Server Administrator system, so the
management applications can retrieve the 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
