42.5 Using Novell Remote Manager

If the MTA is running on NetWare 6.5 or on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES), you can use the
IP Address Management feature in Novell Remote Manager (Manage Server > IP Address
Management) to view the IP address and port configuration for the MTA. This is also true for other
GroupWise agents (POA, Internet Agent, and WebAccess Agent) running on NetWare 6.5/OES
servers.
IMPORTANT: If the MTA is running in protected mode on NetWare, it will not display in Novell
Remote Manager.
You access Novell Remote Manager by entering the following URL in a Web browser:
http://server_address:8008
For example:
http://172.16.5.18:8008
For more information about using Novell Remote Manager, see the
Documentation Web site

42.6 Using an SNMP Management Console

You can monitor the MTA from the Management and Monitoring component of Novell
®
ZENworks for Servers or another SNMP management and monitoring program. When properly
configured, the MTA sends SNMP traps to network management consoles for display along with
other SNMP monitored programs.
Although the MTA is SNMP-enabled by default, the server where the MTA is installed must be
properly configured to support SNMP, and the MTA object in eDirectory must be properly
configured as well. To set up SNMP services for your server, complete the following tasks:
Section 42.6.1, "Setting Up SNMP Services for the MTA," on page 683
Section 42.6.2, "Copying and Compiling the MTA MIB File," on page 686
Section 42.6.3, "Configuring the MTA for SNMP Monitoring," on page 687

42.6.1 Setting Up SNMP Services for the MTA

Select the instructions for the platform where the MTA runs:
"Setting Up SNMP Services for the NetWare MTA" on page 683
"Setting Up SNMP Services for the Linux MTA" on page 684
"Setting Up SNMP Services for the Windows MTA" on page 685
Setting Up SNMP Services for the NetWare MTA
The NetWare MTA supports SNMP through the SNMP services loaded on the NetWare server.
SNMP services are provided through the SNMP NLM
requests for monitoring information and generates trap messages.
