This topic describes how to install the SNMP services.
Context
You need to install the SNMP service if it was not installed when
you installed the operating system. Perform the following steps to install
the SNMP service:
Steps
- Click Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.
- Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- Click Add/Remove Windows® components on the left side
of the panel.
- Click Management and Monitoring Tools, and then click Details.
- Check Simple Network Management Protocol, and click OK.
- Click Next to complete the installation process.
- From the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools.
- Double-click Computer Management.
- Expand Services and Applications.
- Click Services.
- In the list of services, double-click SNMP Service.
- On the General tab, select Automatic as the
Startup Type.
- On the Security tab, click the Add button underneath
the Accepted Community Names field, and enter public as the new community
name and leave the community rights as read-only. If the Master Console is
running on a Windows 2003 system, select the Accept SNMP packets
from any host radio button.
Note: On Windows 2000, Accept
SNMP packets from any host is the default. On Windows 2003,
the default is Accept SNMP packets from these hosts, with an empty
field underneath. This default results in the NetView® part of the installation failing.
