ServerConductor/Blade Server Manager Description and Reference

## 13.4 Setting up an environment when the SNMP translator is used to manage Linux servers

To use the SNMP translator to view Linux server information (perform steps 1 through 5 at the managed server and steps 6 and 7 at the SNMP manager):

1. Install Agent (Linux).
2. Execute the smhaaedit command with the -snmp option specified.
   The SNMP settings menu is displayed. For details about the format of the smhaaedit command, see 3.8.2(2) smhaaedit command format.
   The following shows an example of the SNMP settings menu:

        ####          SNMP Configuration          ####
         1.Community1                       [public]
         2.SNMPManagerAddress1              ->
        .............omitted.............

        Command(1-8/Menu/Quit)>

3. Set required items with the SNMP settings menu.
   With the SNMP settings menu, set the community name used for trap notification and the IP address of the target SNMP manager to which traps are to be sent. The following table describes the settings with the SNMP settings menu:

   Item | Default | Setting
   --- | --- | ---
   Community X (X: 1 to 4) | public for Community1; "" for other | Set (as 1 to 27 characters) the community name used for trap notification; none of the following characters can be used: " # & ' ( ) \ | ; * < > `
   SNMPManagerAddress X (X: 1 to 4) | None | Set the IP address of the SNMP manager to which trap notifications are to be sent. This item is set for each community.

   Note
     The default value public has been set as the community name for Community1; however, we recommend that you change this default value for security reasons.
4. Execute the smhaaedit command with the -adagent option specified.
   The advanced agent settings menu is displayed.
5. To enable the SNMP function, set SNMPTranslatorAgentService to Enabled.
6. Install the SNMP manager on the machine to be used to view information.

Set an environment for the SNMP manager.
