Installing SNMP

To set up SNMP traps in Windows 2000, you must have the following installed on your system:

• TCP/IP stack

• Because SNMP service is based on TCP/IP protocol

• SNMP service

• This service is included with Windows 2000 but is not installed by default

To install TCP/IP and SNMP Service from the Windows 2000 CD:

1. From Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Add Remove Windows Components, check Management and Monitoring Tools in order to the TCP/IP protocol stack

• If you click Details, note that the Simple Network Management Protocol is selected

2. To verify the service is installed, open the Computer Management from the Administrative Tools

3. Select Services from the left pane tree

4. Search down in the services installed for two services:

• SNMP Service

• SNMP Trap Service

5. Try to start each service and make sure each succeeds

Now you are ready to configure SNMP Traps.
