iControl SNMP Agents

 
GSM SNMP Agent
Net-SNMP Agent
iControl SNMP agents allow third party SNMP managers, such as Spectrum, to monitor an iControl configuration.
 

IMPORTANT: If you choose to take advantage of iControl’s support for the SNMP version 3 protocol for its added security, and your Application Server is an SNMP agent, you must first create default user templates and then create user profiles with the desired privilege levels.

There are two types of iControl SNMP agents:
• the GSM SNMP Agent, which is an iControl plug-in
• the Net-SNMP agent, part of a popular open-source package (www.net‑snmp.org)
