Displaying Help for SCF Error Messages
The next request returns information about the NonStop agent TRAPDEST object:
-> HELP SNMP TRAPDEST
This request returns information about the ADD command when it is issued against a

SCF Information Specific to the NonStop
Agent
SNMP defines a standard way of managing devices from multiple vendors on a
TCP/IP-based network. An SNMP network management environment consists of one
or more SNMP managers, one or more SNMP agents, and the network management
information that is retrieved and manipulated by the agents on behalf of the managers.
The NonStop agent provides the means by which HP customers operating
multiplatform networks can have HP subsystems managed from SNMP-compliant
network managers. The SNMP agent that HP provides is referred to as the NonStop
agent.
The NonStop agent interacts with subagents that reside on the same or remote
NonStop systems. SNMP subagents are responsible for handling a particular collection
of resources. Each subagent handles manager requests forwarded by the NonStop
agent pertaining to the hardware or software resources for which the subagent is
responsible.
Almost all configuration and management of the NonStop agent can be done through
SCF. Much of the NonStop agent configuration can also be done through SNMP. In
addition, some special case configuration is done through startup parameters when
