Learn to Manage SNMP

By Mike Pastore | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Jabez Gan has a brief article on the past and present of Simple Network Management Protocol over at Enterprise Networking Planet. Windows XP/Vista and Windows Server 2003/2008 all have SNMP built-in like their predecessors, but now IPv6 is natively supported by SNMP in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.

The most useful information is probably the step-by-step guide to configuring the SNMP agent on a Windows platform. There are a couple of caveats (aren't there always?):
SNMP now works with the IPv6 protocol, but Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP and earlier will not be able to respond to queries made to their IPv6 addresses. And here's another catch: Even if the IPv6 protocol stack is installed on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, neither will be able to respond to SNMP, which uses IPv6 addresses, too!
