A JavaScript error might occur when displaying an IML page containing a very large IML in
Netscape Navigator.
NOTE:
A large IML does not cause an error in Internet Explorer, but it does take a long time
to load (more than four minutes).

To set the security level to low perform the following steps:
1.
Select Internet Options from the View menu in the browser.

SNMP community string issues
•
In NetWare, the community string can be changed through the INETCFG utility. After the
community string has been changed, the administrator must restart the server at a convenient
time to have the change take effect. This restarts the Novell SNMP with the new community
string and enables the Web Agent to utilize it.
•
In Windows NT, if the SNMP community string is changed, the SNMP service does not
recognize the change until the SNMP service is stopped and restarted from the Services Control
Panel applet. If the SNMP service is not stopped and restarted, then the Web Agent is unable
to get any SNMP data and the HTML pages do not contain any data.
•
Service Pack 4 for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 enables SNMP community strings with read-only
access or no access to be added to a system. If a read-only or read/write community string
has not been defined, then the Web Agent is unable to get any SNMP data and the HTML
pages do not contain any data. Unless a read/write community string is defined, you do not
have write access, even if you log on to the Web Agent as administrator or operator.
•
In Windows Server 2003, manually configure the community string:
From the Start menu, select Programs>Administrative Tools>Services.
1.
2.
Double-click SNMP Service, and then click the Traps tab.
3.
In the Community Names field, enter a community name string. If a community name
already exists, select it. If one does not exist, enter public in the Community Names field,
and click Add. The default community string for Insight Manager is public. If a different
community string is entered here, it must also be entered on the management console
that is responsible for the system. To change the community string (community strings are
case-sensitive) in HP Systems Insight Manager, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User
Guide section, “Setting Up SNMP Community Strings.”
4.
Under the Trap Destinations list, click Add.
5.
In the IP Host/Address or IPX Address field, enter the IP address of the management
console. This address identifies the management console to receive the alert when the
Server Agents detect a significant event.
6.
Click Add>OK.
