With Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support, you can monitor the status of a IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance as a part of a larger group of systems in a data center. SNMP monitoring enhances your ability to notice system issues quickly and then responding to them promptly.
Configure an SNMP client before completing these steps. These steps can be completed without an SNMP client configured, but SNMP monitoring can only be used if a client has been configured.
