Installing and configuring the SNMP component

Installing and configuring the SNMP component
To configure Intel AMT and ASF computers for out-of-band management, you
can install and use the Altiris Out of Band Management Component software.
For more information, see the Out of Band Management Component Implementation
Guide.
To work with IPMI, you must enable and configure the technology in the target
computer's BIOS. Refer to the hardware manufacturer's documentation.
With Real-Time System Manager you can see some of the target computer's
hardware configuration information through Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
To be able to view SNMP data, you must install the Simple Network Management
Protocol component on the client computer.
Then, to allow incoming SNMP connections, you must open UDP port 161 on the
target computer. You can add a firewall exception locally or use a group policy to
configure the firewall. Alternatively, you can temporarily disable the firewall.
