Info

NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as public. For security reasons, rename the default SNMP community names. For information about renaming the SNMP community names, see the appropriate section below. NOTE: SNMP Set operations are disabled by default in Server Administrator version 5.2 or later. Server Administrator provides support to enable or disable SNMP Set operations in Server Administrator. You can use the Server Administrator SNMP Configuration page under Preferences or the Server Administrator command line interface (CLI) to enable or disable SNMP Set operations in Server Administrator. For more information about the Server Administrator CLI, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide. NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name that allows Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be configured to send traps to the system running IT Assistant. The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each supported operating system: • “Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems" on page 29. • “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux" on page 32. • “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" on page 36. • "Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESX 4.X Operating Systems to Proxy VMware MIBs" on page 39. • “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X Operating Systems" on page 41. 28 Setup and Administration
Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the Windows SNMP agent. You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections. NOTE: See your operating system documentation for additional details on SNMP configuration. Enabling SNMP Access By Remote Hosts Windows Server 2003, by default, does not accept SNMP packets from remote hosts. For systems running Windows Server 2003, you must configure the SNMP service to accept SNMP packets from remote hosts if you plan to manage the system by using SNMP management applications from remote hosts. To enable a system running the Windows Server 2003 operating system to receive SNMP packets from a remote host, perform the following steps: 1 Open the Computer Management window. 2 Expand the Computer Management icon in the window, if necessary. 3 Expand the Services and Applications icon and click Services. 4 Scroll down the list of services until you find SNMP Service, right-click SNMP Service, and then click Properties. The SNMP Service Properties window appears. 5 Click the Security tab. 6 Select Accept SNMP packets from any host, or add the remote host to the Accept SNMP packets from these hosts list.
