Systems Management Standards Availability
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator supports the following major systems
management protocols:
• HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
• Common Information Model (CIM)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
If your system supports SNMP, you must install and enable the service on
your operating system. If SNMP services are available on your operating
system, the Server Administrator installation program installs the supporting
agents for SNMP.
HTTPS is supported on all operating systems. Support for CIM and
SNMP is operating system dependent and, in some cases, operating
system-version dependent.
For information on SNMP security concerns, see the Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator readme file (packaged with the Server Administrator
application) or on the Dell Support Website at support.dell.com/manuals.
You must apply updates from your operating system's master SNMP agents to
ensure that Dell's SNMP subagents are secure.
