The CommServe SNMP Enabler sends alerts from the CommServe computer to other computers using the SNMP protocol. For more information, see Setting up Alerts and Notifications - SNMP Traps.
Use this preinstallation checklist to prepare the computer where the SNMP Enabler will be installed and to gather all of the information you will need during the installation.
Note
In Linux CommServe environments, the SNMP Enabler package is not required because the SNMPv3 support is provided by default.
Verify System Requirements
There are no minimum requirements for the SNMP Enabler.
Verify License Requirements
The SNMP Enabler does not require a license.
Determine the Installation Location
Install the SNMP Enabler on the CommServe computer.

-
SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1)
-
SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3)
Note
If the SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3) is available, the Windows SNMP services are not required on the CommServe computer.
