The Hardware Management Agent uses native SNMP for network communications. This means that SNMP must already be installed and running on the host operating system. For the Hardware Management Agent to be able to use SNMP, you must ensure that SNMP is configured correctly. Incorrect settings can cause the Hardware Management Agent to have limited, or no, network connectivity.
Configuration details are operating system specific, refer to the following for more information:
For Oracle Solaris and Linux based operating systems, the snmpd.conf file controls network access to the Hardware Management Agent. See (Solaris and Linux) Configuring Net-SNMP/SMA.
For Windows operating systems, the SNMP service controls network access to the Hardware Management Agent. See (Windows) Configuring SNMP.
