Configuring SNMP

For instructions on installing and using the OS-specific SNMP Subagents, refer to the Installing
and Configuring the Intel® Server Manager 8 SNMP Subagents document
(SNMP_Subagent_Install_and_Config_Guide.pdf) on the ISM 8 Installation CD.
To use the BMC-resident SNMP agent, install the BMC.MIB file using the ISM 8 SNMP
installation option.
Run the Server Configuration Wizard (SCW) on the Intel Server Deployment Toolkit CD to
configure the BMC SNMP Agent. The SCW will allow the user to configure the following:
•
Enable SNMP
•
Configure the SNMP port number for Get/Set commands
•
Configure LAN alerting for SNMP Traps
•
Set the SNMP Trap destination

Using the BMC-Resident SNMP Agent

To use the BMC-resident SNMP Agent, do the following:
1. Connect the NIC on the Advanced Edition module to the network.
2. Launch your SNMP-aware network management station (for example, Hewlett-Packard's
OpenView) on a remote administrative system.
