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

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

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

> a. | Add a read-only community name and client/hostname/ipaddress under SECTION: Access Control Setup in the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file, as shown in the following excerpt.

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

> # SECTION: Access Control Setup

> # 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
