To add an SNMP manager by specifying its host name,
using the NetScaler command line
Important: If you specify the SNMP manager’s host name instead of its IP address,
you must configure a DNS name server to resolve the host name to the SNMP
manager’s IP address. For more information, see the instructions for adding a name
server in the Citrix NetScaler Traffic Management Guide. For a link to the guide, see
the Documentation Library.
At the NetScaler command prompt, type the following commands to set the parameters
and verify the configuration:
w add snmp manager <IPAddress> [-domainResolveRetry <integer>]
w show snmp manager
Example
> add nameserver 10.103.128.15
Done
> show nameserver
1) 10.103.128.15 - State: UP
Done
> add snmp manager engwiki.eng.example.net –
domainResolveRetry 10
Done
> show snmp manager
1) Hostname: abc.com (Unresolved IP)
Resolve Retry: 7
2) Hostname: engwiki.eng.example.net
(10.217.3.249)
Resolve Retry: 10
Done
Parameters for configuring an SNMP manager
IPAddress
Can be any of the following:
w IPv4 address of the SNMP manager.
w IPv4 network address. The NetScaler appliance accepts and responds to SNMP
queries from any device on this network.
w Associated host name of an SNMP manager that has an IPv4 address. If you specify
a host name, you must add a DNS name server that resolves the host name of the
SNMP manager to its IP address.
