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.
