Introduction
With the Intel
®
Server Manager installation program, you can install SNMP subagents on managed
servers, allowing you to communicate via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) with
hardware components on the managed server. With these SNMP subagents, you can use SNMP
TRAPs, SETs, and GETs to manage supported hardware components. Note that not all components
support SNMP sets.
Getting the Latest Information
Intel® Server Manager components are frequently enhanced and updated to support new features
and platforms. For updated information on such changes, see the release note files
(Release_notes.htm).
