CHAPTER 6. Configuring Oracle SNMP Support

T his chapter provides an overview of the Oracle SNMP Support feature, available with Oracle7 Server release 7.2 and SQL*Net release 2.2 and later. Oracle SNMP Support enables Oracle products running anywhere on an enterprise's network to be located, identified, and monitored by a management station running at one or more centrally located nodes.

This chapter briefly describes the tasks necessary to configure Oracle SNMP Support for the Oracle7 Server, Listener, MultiProtocol Interchange, and Oracle Names. For specifics on how to configure SNMP support, see Oracle Network Manager Administrator's Guide. For specific instructions on how to install and configure SNMP support on a particular platform see your operating system-specific documentation.

For a complete description of SNMP concepts and terms, see the Oracle SNMP Support Reference Guide. It provides detailed listings of what the management information contains and suggestions on how to use it effectively in developing SNMP-based management applications.
