• An SNMP event notifier service that can send Matrix Server events as
SNMP traps.
To enable the Matrix Server SNMP extension agent, the Microsoft SNMP
service must be installed and configured on all nodes in the matrix. This
service is included in the Microsoft Windows 2003 distribution; however,
it is not automatically installed. To perform the installation, complete
these steps:
1. Open the Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Windows Components. On the Windows
Components Wizard, select Management and Monitoring Tools and
click Details.
3. On the Management and Monitoring window, select Simple Network
Management Protocol and click OK and then click Next on the
following window.
4. Insert the Windows 2003 CD or specify the location of the files. The
Wizard will now install the software.
After the Microsoft SNMP service is installed, you will need to specify a
community string. The public community string is adequate, as the string
is used only for read-only operations. To add a community string,
complete the following steps.
1. Open the Control Panel and select Administrative Tools.
2. Double-click Services. On the Services window, locate the SNMP
Service, right-click, and select Properties.
3. Open the Security tab and add the community name.
The Microsoft SNMP service is enabled by default and will automatically
use the Matrix Server extension agent.
