# How to configure addressing and SNMP service

This document provides information on how to configure the addressing and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service of iDRAC. The SNMP ensures reliability and availability of your security infrastructure. Through SNMP, the Segura™ Appliance can be effortlessly integrated into your existing network management systems, enabling centralized oversight and proactive issue detection.

## How to configure addressing

To configure the iDRAC’s addressing, follow these steps:

1. In the iDRAC management interface, access  **Overview > iDRAC Settings > Network**.

  - **Enable DHCP**: if this option is selected, the DHCP protocol will be activated to assign the server's IP address.
  - **Use DHCP to obtain server DNS addresses**: if this option is selected, the DHCP protocol will obtain the server's DNS address.
3. If the **DHCP Enable** field is not selected, fill in the following fields:
  - **Static IP Address**: enter the server's IP.
  - **Static Gateway**: enter the server's gateway.
