Conﬁguring Client Workstations for Desktop SNMP Services

Installing the Desktop SNMP Software

The Desktop SNMP software includes a collection of ﬁles that support the

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using the NetWare Virtual

Loadable Module™ (VLM) technology.

Support for the Internet Packet Exchange™ (IPX) transport and User

Datagram Protocol (UDP) transports is also provided.

• Desktop SNMP and Management Information Base (MIB) Support Files

The Desktop SNMP VLM™ programs let remote network management systems

monitor the IPX™ or UDP/IP protocol stack running on client workstations.

Desktop SNMP also allows remote and local SNMP client workstations

complete access to the Management Information Base (MIB) for managing

workstation resources.

Desktop SNMP supports the following three MIB-II groups:

• System and SNMP groups

• Interfaces groups

• TCP/IP groups

The following ﬁles must exist in the NetWare Client directory for each client

workstation.
