Configuring SNMP
Your Linux managed systems must be configured to communicate with the CMS.
Managed systems that participate in SNMP notifications must include the following:
l All managed systems must have a working intranet connection, such as through an ethernet adapter,
with TCP/IP installed and running. Managed systems must have two-way communication with the
CMS over this connection.
l Managed systems need the Insight Management Agent software for problem detection and trap
generation. HP distributes the IM agents and they are designed to generate SNMP traps with
information that allows for a more complete analysis.
l Finally, all managed systems need to have the CMS IP address host defined as a trap destination.
As stated, the Insight Management Agents are required for Linux managed systems. Once you have
installed the Insight Management Agents to your managed systems, you access the snmpd.conf file to
add the IP address for the CMS for SNMP communication from the managed system(s). You will need to
do this for each Linux managed system.
1. In a Web browser, access the System Management Homepage (SMH) on the managed system:
https://ipaddress:2381.
2. Log on to the managed system using the root user name and password.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click the SNMP Configuration link.
