To enable SNMP access from a specic remote host to a system running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent conguration

le, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:

1 Find the line that reads: rocommunity public 127.0.0.1.

2 Edit or copy this line, replacing 127.0.0.1 with the remote host IP address. When edited, the new line should read: rocommunity

public IP_address.

NOTE: You can enable SNMP access from multiple specic remote hosts by adding a rocommunity directive for each

remote host.

3 To enable SNMP conguration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing: systemctl restart snmpd .

Changing The SNMP Community Name

Conguring the SNMP community name determines which management stations are able to manage your system through SNMP. The

SNMP community name used by management applications must match the SNMP community name congured on the system running

Server Administrator, so the management applications can retrieve the management information from Server Administrator.

To change the default SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system running Server Administrator:

1 Open the SNMP agent conguration le, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

2 Find the line that reads: rocommunity public 127.0.0.1.

3 Edit this line by replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line should read: rocommunity

community_name 127.0.0.1.

4 To enable SNMP conguration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing: systemctl restart snmpd .

Conguring the SNMP agent on systems running supported Ubuntu server

Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the net-snmp agent. You can congure the SNMP agent to enable SNMP

access from remote hosts, change the community name, and send traps to a management station. To congure your SNMP agent for

proper interaction with management applications such as OpenManage Essentials, perform the procedures described in the following

sections.

NOTE

: For additional details on SNMP conguration, see the operating system documentation.

Sever Administrator SNMP Install Actions

Server Administrator SNMP communicates with the SNMP agent using the SMUX protocol. When Server Administrator SNMP connects

to the SNMP agent, it sends an object identier to the SNMP agent to identify itself as a SMUX peer. To support SMUX the object

identier must be congured with the SNMP agent. In order to Server Administrator work with SMUX protocol you need to enable by

following the below steps to the SNMP agent conguration le.

• Open the SNMP agent conguration le./etc/default/snmpd.

• The default option available in the conguration le is: SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -

smux,mteTrigger,mteTriggerConf -p /run/snmpd.pid'

• With the above default conguration the SMUX module is disabled.

• To support snmpd to support SMUX change the conguration as : SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -p /run/

snmpd.pid'

Add in the SNMP agent conguration le ./etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1

• To enable the SNMP conguration changes, restart SNMP agent by using: systemctl restart snmpd.
