Click on "Edit" from the window menu bar to enter the Edit SNMP Agent

Window.

Figure 4.18 Edit the SNMP Agent

The entries already entered are there by default if the software was just installed.

They are just for reference as examples of how the format should be entered into the

window. If we continue with our example from the previous chapters, then the

FRM301 unit which we wish to manage (the agent) is at IP address 172.24.1.3 and the

r/w community string is 'public'. So we will click in the lower window (or select the

already entered text) and backspace over it until the window is empty. Then we will

enter our own format string. Be extremely careful to enter only a single space

between the parameters:

1 172.24.1.3 public FRM301

^ ^ ^

Then click the "Save" button. Now the GUIMGR is set to manage a FRM301 at IP

address 172.24.1.3 with a community string of 'public' and our manager will display

the rack name as FRM301.
