Apply Global SNMP Settings and Access Control Lists to Policies

After you completed your global SNMP settings with appropriate ACLs, apply the SNMP settings to policies.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Resources, Configuration in the user interface.

   The Policy page appears.

2. Expand Policy, Policies, SystemEDGE in the navigation pane.

   The SystemEDGE page appears listing the available policies.

3. (Optional) Click to create a policy.

   The New SystemEDGE Policy dialog appears.

4. Specify the required data to create a policy and click OK.
5. Open the policy that you want to apply to one or more managed systems and click Traps & Communities.

   The Communities page appears with the table of SNMP settings and the following options:

   • Include only Server Communities
   • Include Server Communities and all Default Communities (Global Communities)
   • Custom Selection

   Note: The only default (global) SNMP settings from the table that are included in the configuration are those settings with a port that matches the agent port.

6. Select one of the three options and verify that you have at least one community with the appropriate port specified for each of your target systems.

   If you select the first option Include only Server Communities, verify that appropriate server-level SNMP settings exist for the target system. The available server communities which you can select are generic:

   • Server Read
   • Server Write

   They represent the existing read and write credentials at the server level.

   If you select the second option, all global SNMP settings from the table and server-level settings are applied to the target systems.

   If you select the third option, only the selected SNMP settings from the table are applied to the target systems. This option allows you to select global settings only.

7. Click Save Policy.

You can distribute the policy to the appropriate server group or specify additional ACLs at the policy or server level if necessary.
