Configuration Manager Editor window: Management Module Network Configuration

The Configuration Manager Editor window: Management Module Network Configuration component allows you to configure the network protocols that the management module will use.

Introduction

You can configure DHCP and SNMP for your management module. If you enable SNMP, you can assign up to three IP addresses to access the management module through SNMP.
Note:
  • Some modules do not support enabling or disabling all protocols.
  • You do not have to enable SNMP support in order for IBM Director to access the management module.
