> 1. | Stop the SMA service by executing the following command:

> # svcadm disable svc:/application/management/sma:default

> 2. | Add the read-only and the read-write community names.

> a. | Add a read-only community name and the client/hostname/IP address under the Access Control Setup setup section in the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file, as the following excerpt shows:

> #################################################

> # This section defines who is allowed to talk to your

> # running SNMP Agent.

> # rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name

> # arguments: community

> # [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]

> # rocommunity snmpclient 172.28.157.149

> #################################################

> b. | Add a read-write community name and client/hostname/IP address under SECTION: Access Control Setup in the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file, as the following excerpt shows:
