Use a library/STA connection profile to configure SNMP client settings for STA. These settings configure STA to receive SNMP data from one or more libraries. A single SNMP client entry is used to connect to all SNMP libraries monitored by STA.

1. In the STA GUI, expand the Setup & Administration tab and then expand the Configuration tab. Select Library Connections.
   The Library/STA Connection Profiles table includes the following:

   • Profile Name
   • Profile Type (SNMP or Library-API)
   • Connected Libraries
2. Select the SNMP entry in the Library/STA Connection Profiles table, and then click Edit .

3. Complete all fields in the dialog. The values you specify must match the corresponding values used on the libraries. Even if STA will only be monitoring libraries configured for SNMP v2c communication, you must complete all fields, including those applicable to SNMP v3. You cannot leave any fields blank.

   Note:

   All SNMP libraries must use the same SNMP connection credentials. The username and passwords entered will apply to all SNMP libraries monitored by this instance of STA.

   • STA SNMP Connection Username (Auth)—The SNMP v3 username.
   • Enter STA SNMP Connection Password (Auth)—The connection authorization password.
   • Verify STA SNMP Connection Password (Auth)—Verify the connection authorization password.
   • Enter Privacy Encryption Password (Privacy)—The privacy encryption password.
   • Verify Privacy Encryption Password (Privacy)—Verify the privacy encryption password.
   • User Community—The SNMP v2c community string specified on the library. This field is required for the SNMP handshake with the library.
   • Trap Community —The SNMP v2c community string specified on the library. This field is used only if SNMP v2c is used for communication with the library.
4. Click Save.
5. Click OK to dismiss the message. You will perform the connection test later.
