2.6.3.2 Configuring SNMP on the NetScaler 9000 system
The configuration process consists of these tasks:
z Set the access control list for SNMP managers.
z Set the SNMP community, which defines the access privileges (Read

z Set the NetScaler’s system MIB variables (system name, contact person
for that system and system location).
z Set which traps will be enabled and where the trap notification will be
displayed.
z Set the threshold level for the all traps, which causes an alarm to occur.
This event generates a notification message to an SNMP network
management application if the threshold level has been reached.
z (Optional) The SNMP service runs on the NetScaler 9000 system IP
address. You can change the NetScaler 9000 system IP address to another
IP address.
Proceed as follows (for additional details on the CLI commands, see the
NetScaler 9000 Series Command Reference):
1. Set access privileges for the network management application by entering

add snmp manager <IPAddress> . . [-netmask <netmask>]
where IPAddress is the IP address of the client host computer on which

managers (IP addresses) can be specified.
z If you do not add a manager, SNMP queries from all managers
will be processed.
z If you add one or more managers, the SNMP queries only from
these managers will be processed.
