Setting up SNMP polling for the shelf manager

To allow an SNMP manager to poll (monitor) the shelf manager you need to change the community strings in the shelf
manager SNMP configuration file (snmpd.conf). Change them to the community strings used by your organization or
SNMP manager. Once you change the community strings in the configuration file you must also restart the shelf
manager snmpd process.
To change the shelf manager SNMP community strings
1. Log into the shelf manager CLI.
2. Use the vi editor to edit the snmp.conf file. Enter the command:
vi snmpd.conf
3. Scroll down to the part of the file that is similar to the following:
# First, map "public" community name (COMMUNITY) into a security name
# (local and mynetwork, depending on where the request is coming from):
#
# sec.name source community
com2sec local localhost yourwritecommunity
com2sec mynetwork default yourreadcommunity
4. Change yourwritecommunity and yourreadcommunity to your write and read community strings.
5. enter :wq to save the file and quit the vi editor.
