Configuring The SNMP Agent
Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP—a systems management standard—on all
supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on your operating system and how
the operating system was installed. In most cases, SNMP is installed as part of your operating system installation. An installed
supported systems management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator.
You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name and to send traps to a management station. To configure
your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the Dell OpenManage Essentials, perform the
procedures described in the following sections.
NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as public. For security
reasons, you must rename the default SNMP community names. For information about renaming the SNMP community
names, see Changing The SNMP Community Name.
NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running Server Administrator, the community
name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to
modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant
must match a community name that allows Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to
receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server Administrator, the system running Server
Administrator must be configured to send traps to the system running IT Assistant.
The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each supported operating
system:
● Configuring the SNMP Agent For Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems
● Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux
● Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
● Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported VMware ESX 4.X Operating Systems to Proxy VMware MIBs
● Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X Operating Systems
Configuring The SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported Windows
Operating Systems
Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the Windows SNMP agent. You can configure the SNMP agent to
change the community name 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: For additional details on SNMP configuration, see the operating system documentation.
Enabling SNMP Access On Remote Hosts (Windows Server 2003 Only)
Windows Server 2003, by default, does not accept SNMP packets from remote hosts. For systems running Windows Server
2003, you must configure the SNMP service to accept SNMP packets from remote hosts if you plan to manage the system by
using SNMP management applications from remote hosts.
To enable a system running the Windows Server 2003 operating system to receive SNMP packets from a remote host:
1. Open the Computer Management window.
2. Expand the Computer Management icon in the window, if necessary.
3. Expand the Services and Applications icon and click Services.
4. Scroll down the list of services until you find SNMP Service, right-click SNMP Service, and then click Properties.
The SNMP Service Properties window appears.
