Novell Confidential
Manual (ENU) 21 December 2004
contact Novell or your authorized Novell reseller. The Async Gateway can function without the
SNMP agent (snmp.nlm).
Windows: Enabling SNMP Support
During installation of the Windows Async Gateway, you had the opportunity to configure the
Async Gateway for SNMP.
If the option was dimmed, then SNMP was not installed on the Windows server.
To set up SNMP services for the Windows server, complete the following tasks:
Copying and Compiling the Async Gateway MIB File
An SNMP-enabled Async Gateway returns information contained in a Management Information
Base (MIB). The MIB is an ASCII data structure that defines the information gathered. It also
defines the properties that can be monitored and managed on the SNMP-enabled Async Gateway.
You can view the contents of the Async Gateway MIB for a description of the SNMP variables
available for it. The Async Gateway MIB is located in the
domain
\wpgate\
async
directory.
Before you can monitor an SNMP-enabled Async Gateway, you must compile the ngwasync.mib
file using your SNMP management program.
1
Copy the ngwasync.mib file from the
domain
\wpgate\
async
directory to the location required
by your SNMP management program.
For example, ZENworks for Servers users could copy the ngwasync.mib file to the
\agents\snmp directory in the GroupWise software distribution directory.
2
Compile or import the ngwasync.mib file as required by your SNMP management program.
For example, to compile the ngwasync.mib file for ZENworks for Servers:
2a
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Site Server object, then click Properties > MIB Pool.
2b
Click Modify Pool > Add.
2c
Browse to and select the ngwasync.mib file, then click OK.
2d
Click Compile.
