Configure SNMP on a Windows Server

Install the SNMP service and the SMTP server on a standalone installation server or an NFA console installation server.

7. Click Install.

   The Installation Progress page shows the progress of the installation. When installation is complete the Installation Results page identifies the new features and indicates whether you need to restart the server.

8. Click Close.

   A message asks whether you want to restart the server now.
