The default
SNMP agent configuration on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating
systems gives read-only access to the entire MIB tree for the public
community from the local host only. This configuration does not allow
SNMP management applications such as OpenManage Essentials running on other
hosts to discover and manage Server Administrator systems properly.
If Server Administrator detects this configuration during installation,
it logs a message to the operating system log file, /var/log/messages, to indicate that SNMP access is restricted to the local host. You
must configure the SNMP agent to enable SNMP access from remote hosts
if you plan to manage the system by using SNMP management applications
from remote hosts.
NOTE: For security reasons, it is advisable to restrict SNMP access to
specific remote hosts if possible.
To enable SNMP access
from a specific remote host to a system running Server Administrator,
edit the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:
Find the line that reads: rocommunity public 127.0.0.1.
Edit or copy this line, replacing 127.0.0.1 with the remote
host IP address. When edited, the new line should read: rocommunity
public IP_address.
NOTE: You can
enable SNMP access from multiple specific remote hosts by adding a rocommunity directive for each remote host.
To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP
agent by typing: systemctl restart snmpd .
