Administering an SNMP Agent

Procedure

On the Administration menu, click Server (Maintenance) > Alarms > SNMP Agents.
Check the status of the Master Agent.
The Master Agent status must be in a Down state before you make changes to the SNMP Agents Web page. If the Master Agent status is Down, see step 4.
If the Master Agent status is UP, perform the following:
1. On the Administration menu, click Server (Maintenance) > Alarms > Agent Status.
2. On the Agent Status Web page, click Stop Agent.
3. Once the Master Agent status is Down, on the Administration menu, click Server (Maintenance) > Alarms > SNMP Agents.
Enter the appropriate information in the fields.
For more information on the fields, see SNMP Agents field descriptions.
To save the changes, click Submit.
After adding the SNMP Agent, you must restart the Master Agent.
1. To start the Master Agent, on the Administration menu, click Server (Maintenance) > Alarms > Agent Status.
2. Click Start Agent.
Important
You can use the Agent Status Web page to change the state of the Master Agent and to check the state of the subagents. If the subagent is connected to the Master Agent, the status of each subagent is UP. If the status of the Master Agent is Down and the status of the subagent is UP, the subagent is not connected to the Master Agent.
