Agent Configuration Without Write Community
Although it is not mandatory to provide a write community for SystemEDGE package wrappers, consider the following information:
- The SystemEDGE agent can be discovered by the SystemEDGE PMM even if the agent is configured with only SNMP read community and no write community. However, point configuration changes cannot be made to the agent without the agent configured with SNMP write community.
- Full vCenter and Remote Monitoring functionality is only supported if the agent is configured with write community. AIM configuration and administration from the CA Virtual Assurance UI is not possible without the agent configured with SNMP write community.
- An agent without write community can be configured post-installation from the CA Virtual Assurance UI using Policy Configuration. Policy Configuration also allows you to configure the agent to use SNMP v3, which is more secure than SNMP v1/2.
