Starting the SDX SNMP Agent

You must configure the SNMP agent and then manually start the agent. If you attempt to manually start the SNMP agent before it is configured, the software displays a message that the agent has not been configured and cannot start.

The SNMP agent automatically restarts in the event of a host reboot or process failure that stops the agent.

Before you start the SDX SNMP agent:

  1. Perform the initial configuration tasks on the C-series Controller.
  2. Configure the SDX SNMP agent.

    See Configuring the SDX SNMP Agent.

Manually start the SDX SNMP agent the first time it runs. Thereafter, the agent automatically restarts.

To start the SNMP agent:

  1. Click Manage>Enable.
  2. From the Component box, select agent.

The system responds with a start message. If the SNMP agent is already running, the system responds with a warning message indicating that fact.
