How to Configure SNMP Sets

To enable the functionality of setting information via SNMP, use the following information to modify your snmpd.conf file, depending on which host operating system the Hardware Management Agent is running on.

1. Open your snmpd.conf file for editing.
2. Depending on which operating system you are running, choose one of the following options:
   • For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESX and Solaris you should add the following line to snmpd.conf:

     rwcommunity private

     By default the public community is blocked as rocommunity on these operating systems.

   • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, change the following line in snmpd.conf:

     access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none none

     to the following:

     access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview systemview none

     This modification grants write access for the specified view and group. In this example the specified view is systemview and the specified group is NotConfigGroup. By default, the group uses the public community string.
