Ivanti EPMM provides (Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) capabilities. SNMP is a protocol used for network management for collecting information about network entities, such as servers and devices, on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Various third-party SNMP systems are available that provide SNMP-based management and tools.
Ivanti EPMM provides the following SNMP capabilities:
- Ivanti EPMM sends these two SNMP traps (events) to a specified SNMP trap receiver using the SNMP v2c protocol.
- Link up and down traps
- An SNMP server can request information from Ivanti EPMM related to these management information bases (MIBs):
- The HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
- Apache web server configuration and status values (APACHE2-MIB).
- disk I/O (UCD-DISKIO-MIB)
- Support for SNMP v2c and v3 protocols to pull MIB information from Ivanti EPMM to the SNMP server.

Ivanti EPMM limits Incoming SNMP requests to around 10 SNMP requests per minute.

## Configuring SNMP on Ivanti EPMM
This section includes the general workflow to configure SNMP\:
| **Step 1** | [Configuring the SNMP trap receiver server](docId:42Njs5DlUaCSo5cP7TuQ8) to which Ivanti EPMM sends SNMP traps. |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Step 2** | [Enabling the SNMP service with the v3 protocol](docId:42Njs5DlUaCSo5cP7TuQ8) from whom Ivanti EPMM accepts requests. |
| **Step 3** | [Enabling the SNMP service with the v2c protocol](docId:42Njs5DlUaCSo5cP7TuQ8) between Ivanti EPMM and your SNMP server. |
### Configuring the SNMP trap receiver server
Configure the server to which Ivanti EPMM sends SNMP traps. This server can also get MIB information from Ivanti EPMM.
**Procedure **
1. Log in to System Manager.
2. Go to **Settings** > **SNMP** to open the SNMP details pane.
3. Click **Add** to open the Add SNMP Trap Receiver window.
4. Edit the fields, as necessary.
Refer to the [Add SNMP Trap Receiver window](docId:42Njs5DlUaCSo5cP7TuQ8) table for details.
5. Click **Apply** > **OK **to save the changes.
### Add SNMP Trap Receiver window
The following table summarizes fields and descriptions in the **Add SNMP Trap Receiver **window:
Table: Add SNMP Trap Receiver values
| Fields | Description |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Server** | Enter the server name for your SNMP trap receiver.
For example:
**trapreceiver.myCompanyDomain.com** |
| **Port** | Enter the port number for your SNMP trap receiver. |
| **Community** | Enter the string which names the SNMP community on your SNMP trap receiver. |
| **Version** | Ivanti EPMM sends SNMP traps using SNMP protocol V2c. You can choose V2c or V3 for MIB requests. |
| **Admin State** | Select **Enable** to enable the SNMP service for this SNMP server. |
### Deleting SNMP trap receiver servers
**Procedure **
1. Log in to System Manager.
2. Go to **Settings** > **SNMP** to open the SNMP details pane.
3. Select one or more of the servers you want to delete.
4. Click the box next to **Server** to select all servers in the list.
5. Click **Delete** > **Yes**.
### Enabling the SNMP service with the v3 protocol
Set up the SNMP v3 user from whom Ivanti EPMM accepts requests. In addition, you can enable or disable sending traps to any configured SNMP trap receiver.
**Procedure **
To enable the SNMP service with the SNMP v3 protocol:
1. Log in to System Manager.
2. Go to **Settings** > **SNMP**.
3. Go to the **SNMP Control section** > **SNMP Service**.
4. Select **Enable**.
5. Go to the **Protocol** option and verify that **v3** is selected. The v3 option is selected, by default.
6. Click **Add**.
7. Enter the **SNMP v3** user fields, as necessary.
See the [Add SNMP v3 User window](docId:42Njs5DlUaCSo5cP7TuQ8) for details.
8. Click **Save**.
9. Go to **Link Up/Down Trap**.
10. Click **Enable**.
11. Select **Disable**.
This stops Ivanti EPMM from sending SNMP traps to any SNMP trap receiver.
12. Click **Apply **> **OK **to save the changes.
### Add SNMP v3 User window
Table: Add SNMP v3 User window
| Fields | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| User Name | Enter the user name without any spaces (example: miuser). |
| Security Level | Select a security level for authentication. The options are:
- **noAuthNoPriv**: Without Authentication or Privacy.
- **authNoPriv**: With Authentication and without Privacy
- **authPriv**: With Authentication and Privacy |
| Auth Protocol | Select an authentication protocol. This can be selected only if the **Security Level** is selected as **authNoPriv** or **authPriv**. |
| Auth Password | Enter the Auth Password with a minimum of 8 characters.
Note: From 11.12.0.0 release, the Auth password will not support these characters: '$','', '"', ''', '\`' Also, existing passwords that contain these characters must be updated before saving SNMP settings. |
| Privacy Protocol | Select a privacy protocol. This can be selected only if **Security Level** is selected as **authPriv**. |
| Privacy Password | Enter a privacy password with minimum of 8 characters.
Note: From 11.12.0.0 release, the Privacy password will not support these characters: '$','', '"', ''', '\`' Also, existing passwords that contain these characters must be updated before saving SNMP settings. |
### Deleting SNMP v3 users
**Procedure **
1. Log in to System Manager.
2. Go to **Settings** > **SNMP**.
3. Go to the **SNMP Control** group.
4. Select one or more of the users you want to delete. Click the box next to **User Name** to select all users in the list.
5. Click **Delete** > **Yes**.
### Enabling the SNMP service with the v2c protocol
Set up the SNMP v2c communication between Ivanti EPMM and your SNMP server. You also enable or disable sending traps to any configured SNMP trap receiver.
**Procedure **
1. Log in to System Manager.
2. Go to **Settings** > **SNMP**.
3. Go to the **SNMP Control** section > **SNMP Service**.
4. Select **Enable**.
5. Go to the **Protocol** option and select **v2**.
6. Change the value of Read Only Community if necessary.
The standard SNMP community name is public. This is the community the SNMP server uses to pull MIB information from EPMM.
7. Go to the **Link Up/Down Trap** option and select **Enable**.
8. Select **Disable**.
This stops Ivanti EPMM from sending SNMP traps to any SNMP trap receiver.
9. Click **Apply **> **OK **to save the changes.
