Starting and Stopping the SNMP Subagent on UNIX

NOTE
If you need more information, see your related system documentation.
Starting and Stopping the SNMP Subagent on
UNIX
To start, stop, and restart the SNMP subagent for a directory running on UNIX:
In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab and then select
1.
the top most entry in the navigation tree in the left pane.
Select the SNMP tab in the right pane.
2.
Click Start to start the subagent, click Stop to stop the subagent, or click Restart
3.
to restart the subagent.
Stopping the directory does not stop the directory subagent. If you want to
stop the subagent, you must do so from this tab.
NOTE
Starting and Stopping the SNMP Service on
Windows
It is important to note that the master agent on Windows is the SNMP Service and
not the SNMP subagent as is the case on other platforms. The SNMP Service is
installed and configured via the Windows control panel. For a directory running
on Windows, the SNMP subagent is a DLL which the SNMP service invokes, and it
is by using the information stored in the registry that the SNMP Service knows
which subagent to load.

Do not use the loopback address 127.0.0.1; use the real IP address
instead.
If you add another server instance and you want the instance to
be part of the SNMP network, you must restart the subagent. (On
Solaris, you can only monitor one Directory Server instance at a
time with SNMP).
