Restrict SNMP communication for a node

For security reasons, you might need to restrict SNMP access to one or more nodes after they are discovered.

To restrict SNMP Communication for a node:

  1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the  Inventory workspace.

    Tip You can also use nnmcomunication.ovpl to configure SNMP Agent settings.

  2. Navigate to the SNMP Agent assigned to the node for which you want to restrict access.

    1. Select SNMP Agents.
    2. Double-click the row of interest to open the SNMP Agent form.
  3. In the Mode attribute, select Locked.

    When the SNMP Agent Settings Mode value is Locked, NNMi uses the SNMP Agent Settings and ignores the Communication Configuration Settings for the associated node.

    NNMi discovers Nodes using the Communication Configuration settings. After the node is discovered, the SNMP Settings Mode remains Auto by default.

  4. Disable the SNMP Agent.

    In the SNMP Agent Enabled attribute, clear the check mark .

    Disabling the SNMP Agent ensures that the SNMP Agent is not polled.
