You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name and to send traps to a management
station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the
Dell OpenManage Essentials, perform the procedures described in the following sections.
NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as
public. For security reasons, you must rename the default SNMP community names. For information
about renaming the SNMP community names, see
Changing The SNMP Community Name.
NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running Server
Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the
system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to modify information or perform actions on a
system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a
community name that allows Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT
Assistant to receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server
Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be configured to send traps to the
system running IT Assistant.
