Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OperatingSystems
Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the ucd-snmp or net-snmp agent. You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name,
enable Set operations, 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.
SNMP Agent Access Control Configuration
The management information base (MIB) branch implemented by Server Administrator is identified by the 1.3.6.1.4.1.674 OID. Management applications must
have access to this branch of the MIB tree to manage systems running Server Administrator.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the default SNMP agent configuration gives read-only access for the "public" community only to the MIB-II
"system" branch (identified by the 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 OID) of the MIB tree. This configuration does not allow management applications to retrieve or change Server
NOTE: See your operating system documentation for additional details about SNMP configuration.
