Configuring SNMP for Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server®
2008
To configure the SNMP:
1. Select Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>Computer Management.
2. Select Services and Applications>Services.
3. Double-click Service Name, and then select SNMP Service Properties.

loopback (127.0.0.1). This is needed for inter-agent communications.
