♦Coexistence of NEC ESMPRO Manager with other vendor's SNMP management
application]
When another vendor's SNMP management application which receives an SNMP trap is used along with NEC
ESMPRO Manager, one of them may fail to receive the SNMP trap due to a conflict between the two applic
ations. Through the fol lowing procedures, the situati on can be avoided.
[Work Around 1]
If the other vendor's SNMP management application supports the trap reception function o f standard SNMP
Trap Service, you can change [Method of receiving an SNMP Trap] to [Use SNM P Trap Service] on th e A
lertViewer to avoid this problem.
The SNMP Trap Service is installed together with the SNMP Service. However, it d oes not start b
y default. Start [Services] from [Control Panel] to st art up the SNMP Trap Service (It is usef ul tha
t you set [Automatic] for [S tartup type].).
[Work Around 2]
By utilizing the "TCP/IP report to Manager" function of NEC ESMPRO Age nt, the alert reception function of
NEC ESMPR O Manager operates normally.
TCP/IP report to Mana ger : Transfers an alert fro m a serv er to th e NEC ESM PRO Manager usin
g an original protocol on T CP/IP.
Note that the op erability of the SNM P Trap reception function on the oth er vendor's SNMP management ap
plication cannot be g uaranteed.
♦Usage of DHCP
As NEC ESMPRO Manager manages the system according to its IP Address, do not use a DHCP which assi
gns IP address dynamically on an operating system on which NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Ag
ent are installed.
♦Setting an SNMP trap destination
When you install NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent on th e same computer, specify the IP ad
dress assigned to the network card or th e host name as the SNMP trap destination for the computer, instead
of the loop back address 127.0.0.1. If you specify 127.0.0.1, "unknown server" may be displayed on th e Alert
Viewer.
On the other hand, you may need to specify 127.0.0.1 for a computer not connected to the network. For mor
e information, see "Settings on Standalone Environments Without Network Connections" below.
If the follo wing is dis played on the AlertViewer even when you have specified as above,
Component : {unknown server}
Address : 127.0.0.1
change the IP address to 127.0.0.1 on the properties of the s erver by selecting [Connection Setting] from [S er
ver setting].
