Check Windows snmp agent with LoriotPro. Start LoriotPro and check that the Host is in the Directory. If the Host is not present in the Directory, either add it manually or with the Discover Process. Refer to the Loriotpro documentation. Select the Host in the Directory and use the Common SNMP Query tool.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) continues to dominate when it comes to capturing information about a device and reporting that information back to a central authority. The popular and versatile open source Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) tool, for example, relies solely on SNMP to capture information from various network devices — including Windows Server 2003 servers — and then displays graphs detailing system parameters.

In order for a tool like MRTG to work and to gather statistics from your Windows Server 2003 system, you need to enable SNMP on each of your servers. Use Add/Remove Programs to accomplish this task.

1. Go to Start Control Panel Add Or Remove Programs.
2. Choose Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. In the Windows Components window, scroll down and select Management And Monitoring Tools. Don't put a check mark in the selector box; simply select the entry.
4. Click Details.
5. Scroll down and select the check box next to Simple Network Management Protocol.
6. Click OK to return to the Windows Component window.
7. Click Next and, if prompted, insert the Windows CD.

When you're done with these steps, configure SNMP with the appropriate community strings by opening the Services Control Panel applet and locating the SNMP Service. Open the service's Properties page by double-clicking the service.

How To Install Snmp Service Windows 7

[SNMP is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Windows Remote Management, which is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Man.]

Purpose

The Microsoft Windows implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to configure remote devices, monitor network performance, audit network usage, and detect network faults or inappropriate access.

Important

The Microsoft Windows SNMP API only supports protocol versions up to SNMPv2C. It does not support any later versions of the protocol.

Where applicable

SNMP uses a distributed architecture consisting of management applications and agent applications. The SNMP service implements an SNMP agent. To use the information the SNMP service provides, you must have at least one host that is running an SNMP management application. You can use third-party SNMP management software, or you can develop your own SNMP management software application. The following APIs are available for this purpose:

How To Install Windows Snmp Service In Windows 7

• SNMP Management API, a set of functions that can be used to quickly develop basic SNMP management systems
• WinSNMP API, version 2.0, a set of functions for encoding, decoding, sending, and receiving SNMP messages

Additionally, the SNMP Extension Agent API defines the interface between the SNMP service and third-party SNMP extension agent DLLs. The SNMP Utility API functions can be used to simplify the processing of SNMP messages.

Developer audience

The APIs listed in the preceding section are designed for use by C/C++ programmers. Familiarity with SNMP and SNMPv2C, as well as a working knowledge of networking and network management concepts, are required.

Run-time requirements

For more information about the operating system required to use a particular function, see the Requirements section of the reference page for that function.
