34 Setup and Administration
Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community names determines which systems are able
to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP community name used by
management applications must match an SNMP community name configured
on the Server Administrator system so that the management applications can
retrieve management information from Server Administrator.
To change the SNMP community name used for retrieving management
information from a system running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent
configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
com2sec publicsec default public
or
com2sec notConfigUser default public
2
Edit this line, replacing public with the new SNMP community name.
When edited, the new line should read:
com2sec publicsec default community_name
or
com2sec notConfigUser default community_name
3
To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by
typing:
service snmpd restart
Enabling SNMP Set Operations
SNMP Set operations must be enabled on the system running Server
Administrator in order to change Server Administrator attributes using
IT Assistant.
To enable SNMP Set operations on the system running Server Administrator,
edit the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform
the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all none
