Setting Up SNMP on Windows NT
To set up SNMP support for Directory Server on a Windows NT machine:
Install the SNMP service on your NT server.
1.
Refer to your Windows NT operating system documentation for instructions.
Enable Directory Server statistics collection.
2.
See "Configuring SNMP for the Directory Server," on page 420 for
information.
Restart the Windows NT SNMP service.
3.
See "Starting and Stopping the SNMP Service on Windows NT," on page 419
for information.
Setting Up SNMP on UNIX
To set up SNMP support for your Directory Server on a UNIX machine:
Configure and start the master agent using the Administration Server Console.

NOTE
For information on setting up the master agent, refer to Managing Servers with
Netscape Console.
If you are using the default port settings (161 for SNMP and 199 for
SMUX) then you need to be root user. If you reconfigure the master
agent configuration and have ports with values higher than 1000,
then it is not necessary to be root user.
