130 omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service
omconfig preferences snmp
Setting the SNMP root password allows administrators to restrict access to
SNMP set operations that allow important systems management
interventions. You can configure the SNMP root password normally (by
typing all of the parameters in one command line) or interactively.
Using the omconfig preferences snmp command, you can also configure
SNMP set operations.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware
ESXi), certain features may not be available with this release of OpenManage
Server Administrator.
CAUTION: Interactive mode is the more secure method of setting the SNMP root
password. In non-interactive mode, the values you enter for the newpw and
confirmnewpw options appear on your system’s monitor when you type them.
In the interactive mode, the values you type for passwords are masked.
The parameters for configuring the SNMP root password are the same
whether you configure it interactively or iteratively.
NOTE: If you specify setting=rootpw but do not specify the other name=value pair
parameters, you enter interactive mode, and the command line prompts you for the
remaining values.
Table 4-17 shows the valid parameters for the command.
