Systems Management Standards Availability
Server Administrator supports the following systems management protocols:
● HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
● Common Information Model (CIM)
● Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
If your system supports SNMP, you must install and enable the service on your operating system. If SNMP services are available
on your operating system, the Server Administrator installation program installs the supporting agents for SNMP.
