> # SNMP Tab of Server Configuration

> Use this tab to set up SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for the directory. Through SNMP, network managers can access information about the running state of the directory.

> Enable statistics collection. Select this checkbox to make Directory Server collect server statistics and expose them through SNMP. When this checkbox is cleared, the information available through SNMP will not be accurate.

> ## Master Agent (UNIX Systems Only)

> On UNIX systems, a master agent is required to access the subagent that exposes directory statistics.

> Master host. The host name of the machine on which the master agent is installed. By default, the value is localhost.

> Master port. The port number used to communicate with the master agent. The default port number is 199.

> ## Descriptive Properties

> The SNMP subagent exposes four fields of user-defined text along with the server statistics. These fields will be presented to all network managers viewing directory statistics through SNMP. To expose new values, you must restart the SNMP subagent after modifying any of the fields.

> Description. Description string for the directory server instance, for example Company-wide phonebook.

> Organization. Name of the organization that owns or that is responsible for the directory, for example Example.com IT Department.

> Location. The physical location of the directory, for example Server room, main building.

> Contact. The email address of the person responsible for maintaining the directory server.

> ## Subagent buttons

> These three buttons allow you to Stop, Start, and Restart the SNMP subagent on UNIX or the SNMP Service on Windows NT.
