Configuration changes

By default, Application Units are integrated into the status monitoring and the remote service procedures of the SE server. This requires configuration measures in the SNMP configuration of the Application Unit.

SNMP configuration

The Management Unit starts queries to the SNMP agent on the Application Unit in order to obtain information about managing the Application Units.

Details of how to integrate the Application Unit into the status monitoring are described in the “Operation and Administration” manual [2] and in the online help.

Security-relevant actions

• When you define or modify the SNMP configuration required for status monitoring, you should ensure that only SNMP queries from the Management Unit are allowed.
• Port 161 in the firewall must be opened for the SNMP queries.
• If you want to monitor the Application Unit or applications running on it by means of SNMP or one or more management stations, the information on the actions which are relevant to security is provided in the section "SNMP".
