Installing and Configuring SNMP

Although the Windows NT Server SNMP service supports managing consoles over both the IPX protocol and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), SNMP must be installed and configured in conjunction with the other TCP/IP services to use the IPX protocol. Once you have installed and configured SNMP, it automatically runs with either protocol.

To use SNMP on Windows NT computers, you need to install it:

• • on each Windows NT server and Windows NT workstation that will be either an SNMP management system and/or an agent
• • on a DHCP server if you want to monitor DHCP performance using SNMP
• • on a WINS server if you want to monitor and control the WINS server using SNMP.

You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to install and configure SNMP.
