SNMP Profiles
The System Manager uses simple network management protocol (SNMP) profiles
to access (query) SNMP agents on network elements. You can access or create
SNMP Profiles by selecting Network Data and Mtc > SNMP Profiles from the
navigation pane. To perform SNMP profile configuration, you must have
SnmpProfileService privileges.
SNMP profiles are created to configure consistent SNMP parameters that the
System Manager uses to monitor the condition of the operating system and server
hardware for the managed and monitored MCS network elements.
You create a profile that has a port number and read and write community strings
that match the SNMP daemon settings on a server. After you create the profile and
server configuration begins, you associate the profile with a server so that the
System Manager can monitor the server.
After you create an SNMP Profile, you cannot edit it. If administrators want to
change the SNMP community string, or any other parameter, to increase security,
they must
• configure a new SNMP profile as described in “Configuring an SNMP
profile” on page 38
• assign the new SNMP profile to each server as described in “Server
configuration” on page 56
To increase SNMP security, administrators can be assigned an administrative role
that does not have SnmpProfileServices privilege.
Configuring an SNMP profile
Use the following procedure to create a new SNMP profile. Afterward, use the
System Management Console to associate the new SNMP profile with the servers
that you want to use the profile.
