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.
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.

load snmp v control=x monitor=y trap=z
where v represents Verbose, meaning to display informational messages, and x, y and z are
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.
following at the console prompt:
snmp control= trap=
To automatically load these commands, include them in the autoexec.ncf file.
