To use SNMP you must have a master agent and at least one subagent installed and running on your system. You need to install the master agent before you can enable a subagent.
The procedures for setting up SNMP are different depending upon your system.
Before you begin, you should verify two things:
Whether your system already running an SNMP agent (an agent native to your operating system)
If so, whether your native SNMP agent support SMUX communication? (If you are using the AIX platform, your system supports SMUX.)
See your system documentation for information about how to verify this information.
After changing SNMP settings in the Administration Server, installing a new server, or deleting an existing server, you must perform the following steps:
(Windows) Restart the Windows SNMP service or reboot the system.
(UNIX) Restart the SNMP master agent using the Administration Server.
