How to Configure SNMP Gets

SNMP gets enable you to read data filled by the Hardware Management Agent.

To be able to perform SNMP gets, use the following procedure.

1. Open your snmpd.conf file for editing.
2. Choose one of the following options:

   • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, add the following line to snmpd.conf:

     view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.

     This adds the Hardware SNMP Plugins to the specified view.

   • For Oracle Solaris OS and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, add the following line to snmpd.conf:

     rocommunity public

     This adds a read-only community from a network location other than localhost.
