6.3 Using <strong>Dell</strong> IT Assistant (ITA) to manage XenEnerprise Hosts<br />
ITA uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the <strong>Dell</strong> servers<br />
running Linux OS distributions. On the XenServer host, you can configure the SNMP agent<br />
to change the community name, enable Set operations, <strong>and</strong> send traps to an IT Assistant<br />
system. Follow the below steps to configure XenServer host interaction <strong>with</strong> the ITA<br />
server.<br />
Changing the SNMP Community Name:<br />
1. In the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, find the line that reads:<br />
com2sec notConfigUser default public<br />
2. Edit this line by replacing public <strong>with</strong> the new SNMP community name:<br />
com2sec notConfigUser default community_name<br />
