If you are familiar with configuring SNMP for hardware, you can use the BMC interface to configure the SNMP settings for the SG6000-CN controller. You can provide secure community strings, enable SNMP Trap, and specify up to five SNMP destinations.
Before you begin
- You know how to access the BMC dashboard.
- You have experience in configuring SNMP settings for SNMPv1-v2c equipment.
Procedure
- From the BMC dashboard, select .
-
On the SNMP Settings page, select the Enable SNMP V1/V2 check box, and provide a Read-Only Community String and a Read-Write Community String.
The Read-Only Community String is like a user ID or password. You should change this value to prevent intruders from getting information about your network setup. The Read-Write Community String protects the device against unauthorized changes.
- Optionally, select Enable Trap, and enter the required information.
Enable traps if you want the SG6000-CN controller to send immediate notifications to an SNMP console when it is in an unusual state. Traps might indicate hardware failures of various components or temperature thresholds being exceeded.
- Optionally, click Send Test Trap to test your settings.
- If the settings are correct, click Save.
