Configuring SNMP Support

This chapter describes how to configure SNMP support for the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software. The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software supports SNMP “gets” and “traps” through the use of an SNMP agent. The chapter contains the following sections:


Configuring SNMP Support on Windows



Note - Be sure your Windows installation includes SNMP support. By default, Windows 2000 and Windows XP do not install SNMP.

Configuring SNMP Support on Linux

For the Linux operating system, the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software SNMP agent is a sub-agent that interfaces with the UCD-SNMP agentx architecture. UCD-SNMP is a third-party package for Linux; for information, documentation, and downloads, see www.net-snmp.org.
