Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community name 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 the management applications can retrieve
management information from Server Administrator.
To change the default SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent
configuration file, /etc/snmpd.conf or /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:

1. Find the line that reads:
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1

2. Edit this line by replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line should read:
rocommunity community_name 127.0.0.1

3. To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:

Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station
Server Administrator 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 Server Administrator for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station.
