[Workflow]: Creating an SNMP Driver

iControl and SNMP > Sample Workflows > [Workflow]: Creating an SNMP Driver

iControl’s SNMP Driver Creator allows you to create, modify, delete, publish, and initiate SNMP drivers. Once you have entered the required information into SNMP Driver Creator using the SNMP driver configuration tab and Alarms tab, you can click the Script editor tab to work directly with the generated script.


NOTE: In addition to those procedures called upon from this workflow, there are several other procedures involving SNMP Driver Creator that you may wish to perform as standalone tasks. They are: • "Editing an Alarm" • "Editing a Driver’s Generated Script" • "Editing an Alarm Map, Trap Map, or Poller Profile" • "Loading a Driver into SNMP Driver Creator" • "Removing a Custom SNMP Driver from an Application Server"

The following is a sample workflow for creating an SNMP driver:
