Oracle^® ILOM Protocol Management Reference for SNMP and IPMI Firmware Release 3.2.x

Set SNMP Read and Write Access and Authorization

Before You Begin

• To modify SNMP properties in Oracle ILOM, you must have the Admin role (a) enabled.

• The SNMP service state is, by default, shipped from the factory enabled.

• The SNMP set requests state is, by default, shipped from the factory disabled. To allow SNMP write access to Oracle ILOM, enable the set requests state.

  ---

  Note -  When the set requests state is disabled in Oracle ILOM, all SNMP objects are read-only and no snmpset commands are processed.

  ---

• Oracle ILOM provides authentication properties for each of the following SNMP protocol versions: v1, v2c, and v3.

  • For SNMP v1 and v2c, Oracle ILOM provides a communities property with values of public and private to manage user authentication. However, the property values for SNMP v1 and v2c communities are, by default, shipped from the factory disabled.

  • For SNMP v3, Oracle ILOM provides a users property to manage user authentication. The users property is, by default, shipped from the factory enabled. The SNMP v3 users property is not shipped from the factory with pre-packaged values for users.

To set the SNMP service state, properties:

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.
2. On the left navigation panel, click ILOM Administration.
3. Click Management Access > SNMP.

   The SNMP Management page appears.

   
   
4. To enable the SNMP port, click the State check box.

   When State is disabled, the SNMP port is blocked, prohibiting all SNMP communication between Oracle ILOM and the network.

5. In the Port text field, type the port number.
6. Leave the Engine ID field blank. This allows the default setting to be used.

   The engine ID is automatically set by the SNMP agent. While you can use this field to set the engine ID, you should leave this field blank. The engine ID uniquely identifies the SNMP engine and enables users to query the SNMP agent. Use this field to set the engine ID only if you are familiar with SNMP v3 security and how this setting is used.

7. To enable or disable the Set Requests option, select or clear the Set Requests check box.

   If the Set Requests option is disabled, all SNMP objects are read-only and no snmpset commands will be processed.

8. To enable SNMP v1, v2c, or v3, click a Protocols check box.

   SNMP v3 is enabled by default. You can enable or disable v1, v2c, and v3 protocol versions.

9. Click Save.

   At the bottom of the SNMP Management page, you can also add, edit, or delete SNMP communities or users.
