Intel Server Management (ISM) Installation and User's Guide

Intel Server Management (ISM) Concepts

In order to receive SNMP traps for network interface card (NIC) events, you must install specific NIC SNMP

software from the following Intel web site:

http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/software.htm

Download the Native SNMP software for your operating system and follow the installation and configuration

instructions included in the download package.

Customizing Windows Servers After Setup

• The set action of some SNMP attributes causes the server to shutdown/power off. To globally disallow

all set requests:

• Change the ReadOnly entry in the %ISMPATH%\bin\sdlink.cfg file to True.

• Reboot the server.

Customizing Linux Servers After Setup

The following items should be checked. (By default, the community string is public – not secure.) You should

change the community string for improved security.

1. Verify that the dmi2snmp and ucd-snmp packages are installed by typing rpm -qa | grep snmp. (For

example, the files dmi2snmp-1.0-15.i386.rpm and ucd-snmp-4.2.6-1.i386.rpm could represent

the dmi2snmp and ucd-snmp packages, respectively.)

2. Open the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. You can use any available editor such as vi, emacs, or a linux

editor.

3. Search for com2sec and set the community string to the proper setting for your network.

## sec.name source community

com2sec notConfigGroup default mycommunitystring

4. Search for group and verify that the following lines are present:

# groupName securityModel securityName

group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser

group notConfigGroup v2 notConfigUser

5. Search for view and specify the desired subtree range (suggested range shown in bold below).

## view incl/excl subtree mask

view all included .1 80

6. Search for access and set the read column to whatever you specified in the incl/excl column of the view

line (step 4 above).

# group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif

#access notConfigGroup “” any noauth exact systemview all none

access notConfigGroup “” any noauth exact all all none

7. Add a trapsink line at the end of the file for each ISM console that receives traps from the managed

server. Use the following syntax when adding the line:

trapsink localhost

Be sure to substitute appropriate strings for the host name and domain. Add trapsink lines for any

additional hosts that will be receiving trap messages from the managed server.

8. Insert the following text above the trapsink line you added in the previous step.

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.412 commander

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.412.1.2 trapper
