You can start, stop, and subsequently restart SNMP only if SNMP is enabled. For more information about enabling SNMP, see Enabling and disabling SNMP by using REST Administration APIs.

You can start, stop, and restart SNMP by using REST Administration APIs, or by using the Amlen WebUI. For more information about using the Amlen WebUI to start, stop, and restart SNMP, see Configuring SNMP by using the Amlen WebUI.
