Enabling SNMP Set Operations
SNMP Set operations must be enabled on the system running Dell OpenManage software in order to
change Dell OpenManage software attributes using IT Assistant. To enable remote shutdown of a system
from IT Assistant, SNMP Set operations must be enabled.
NOTE: Reboot of your system for change management functionality does not require SNMP Set operations.
To enable SNMP Set operations on the system running Dell OpenManage software, edit the
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf SNMP agent configuration file and perform the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all none none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
2
Edit this line, replacing the first none with all . When edited, the new line should read:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all all none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all all none

To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
service snmpd restart
Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station
Dell OpenManage software generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the status of sensors and
other monitored parameters. One or more trap destinations must be configured on the system running
Dell OpenManage software for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station.
To configure your system running Dell OpenManage software to send traps to a management station,
edit the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf SNMP agent configuration file and perform the following steps:
1
Add the following line to the file:
trapsink IP_address community_name
where IP_address is the IP address of the management station and community_name is the
SNMP community name
2 To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
service snmpd restart
