If the SNMP NLM is not loaded before the NetWare MTA, the MTA still loads and functions
normally, but SNMP support is disabled. The MTA does not attempt to auto-load snmp.nlm.
To load the SNMP NLM manually:
1 Go to the console of each NetWare server where you want to implement SNMP services.
These servers should already have the GroupWise agents installed.
2 Type the command to load the SNMP NLM:
Syntax
load snmp v control=x monitor=y trap=z
where
replaced with your system SNMP community strings for SNMP SETs, GETs and TRAPs).
Example:
load snmp v control=private monitor=public trap=all
The configuration for the SNMP NLM is found in snmp.cfg and traptarg.cfg in the sys:\etc
directory. View the contents of these files for more information.
The TCP/IP NLM automatically loads snmp.nlm, using default values for the community
strings. If your system uses different community string values, load snmp.nlm before tcpip.nlm.
3 If the SNMP NLM is already loaded, you can add the control and trap parameters by typing the
following at the console prompt:
snmp control= trap=
To automatically load these commands, include them in the autoexec.ncf file.
For more information about implementing SNMP services, see your NetWare documentation.

Setting Up SNMP Services for the Linux MTA
The Linux MTA is compatible with NET-SNMP. An older version of SNMP called UCD-SNMP
cannot be used with the Linux MTA. NET-SNMP comes standard with OES Linux, but it does not
come standard with SLES 9. If you are using SLES 9, you must update to NET-SNMP in order to
use SNMP to monitor the Linux MTA.
1 Make sure you are logged in as root.
2 If NET-SNMP is not already set up on your Linux server, use the following command to
configure SNMP:
snmpconf -g basic_setup
The snmpconf command creates the
