Configuring Client Workstations for Desktop SNMP Services
Introduction
Introduction
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard
protocol that specifies a format for collecting network management data.
With the Novell® Desktop SNMP services, NetWare client workstations are
able to send status information to an SNMP management program running
on an IPX™ or TCP/IP network.
Desktop SNMP services can be managed from the Novell NetWare
Management System™ (NMS) software, from other industry-standard
SNMP management consoles, or from other third-party management
systems.
NetWare Client support for Desktop SNMP on NetWare client workstations
must be set up on each client workstation that you want managed by an
SNMP-based management system.
The complete setup for a Desktop SNMP client workstation requires you to
complete the following tasks:
• Installing an SNMP Management System Console
• Installing the Desktop SNMP Software
• Modifying DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files
• Configuring the HRMIB.INI File
