Enabling SNMP Set Operations
Enable SNMP Set operations on the system running Server Administrator in
order to change Server Administrator software attributes using IT Assistant.
To enable remote shutdown of a system from IT Assistant, enable SNMP Set
operations.
NOTE: Rebooting your system for change management functionality does not
require SNMP Set operations.
To enable SNMP Set operations on the system running Server Administrator,
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
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.
