Specify Read-Write Community Post-Install

To get full SystemEDGE monitoring and management functionality you must specify a valid read-write SNMP community for the SystemEDGE agent. If you have already deployed the SystemEDGE agent, you can add the read/write community string post-installation. You can do this either by creating a global SNMP entry that can be used to monitor and manage multiple systems, or by creating a server-specific SNMP entry.

Follow these steps:

Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Policies, and click SystemEDGE.
The Available Policies page appears.
Select the policy in the Available Policies table.
The Summary page for the policy appears.
Click the Traps and Communities tab.
The Communities page appears.
Select 'Include only Server-specific SNMP settings'.
Click Save Policy.
The policy is saved.

To create a global SNMP entry

Click Administration.
The Administration page appears.
Click Configuration.
The Configuration page appears.
Click SNMP.
Select the check box for the SNMP settings you want to edit from the list and click the tool icon (Edit).
The Edit SNMP Settings dialog appears.
Select Read-Write from the Access Type drop-down, specify the parameters in the Community String field, and click OK.
Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Policies, and click SystemEDGE.
The Available Policies page appears.
Select the policy in the Available Policies table.
The Summary page for the policy appears.
Click the Traps and Communities tab.
The Communities page appears.
Select ‘Include Server-specific SNMP settings and selected Default Settings’.
Click Save Policy.
The policy is saved.
