Configuring The SNMP Agent
Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP—a systems
management standard—on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be
installed depending on your operating system and how the operating system was installed. In most cases,
SNMP is installed as part of your operating system installation. An installed supported systems
management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator.
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.
The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each
supported operating system:
• Configuring the SNMP Agent For Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems
• Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
• Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 5.X and ESXi 6.X Operating
Systems
Configuring The SNMP Agent On 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 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.
