These changes to the default SNMP agent configuration give read-only access to the entire MIB tree for
the "public" community.
NOTE:
To ensure that Server Administrator is able to modify the SNMP agent configuration to provide proper
access to systems management data, it is recommended that any other SNMP agent configuration changes be
made after installation of Server Administrator.
Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community names determines which systems are able to manage your system
through SNMP . The SNMP community name used by management applications must match an SNMP
community name configured on the Server Administrator system so that the management applications
can retrieve management information from Server Administrator.
To change the SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system
running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and
perform the following steps:
1 Find the line that reads:
com2sec publicsec default public
or
com2sec notConfigUser default public
2 Edit this line, replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line
should read:
com2sec publicsec default community_name
or
com2sec notConfigUser default community_name
3 To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
service snmpd restart
