Installing the Ethernet Subagent
Installing the Ethernet Subagent
Run the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM) product to install the SNMP agent and the Ethernet Subagent.
Then load the ASN.1 source code for the Ethernet Subagent’s private MIB onto any
SNMP manager station from which you want to monitor Ethernet resources. The MIB
definitions are contained in two files:
•
RFC 1643,
Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like Interface Types
,
contains definitions for the dot3 Statistics group MIB objects.
•
The ZESAMIB file contains definitions for the private Ethernet Subagent MIB
objects defined by HP.
Compile the ZESAMIB file (and, if necessary, the RFC1643 file) as described in the
documentation provided with your SNMP manager. Compiling the MIB makes it
possible for the SNMP manager to display the names (rather than only numeric object
identifiers) of MIB objects.
Once the MIB definition files have been compiled, you can start the Ethernet Subagent.
Before Starting the Ethernet Subagent
The SNMP agent must be running before you start the Ethernet Subagent. Start the
SNMP agent with the RUN command, as described in
Section 2, Installing and
Configuring the SNMP Agent
. For example:
RUN SNMPAGT /NAME $agent-process, NOWAIT/
If the SNMP agent is not available when the Ethernet Subagent is started, the
subagent fails to start. If the SNMP agent disappears after the Ethernet Subagent
starts, the subagent enters a loop trying to reconnect to the SNMP agent at the rate
specified in its zesakeepAliveTimer object.
In addition, the SCP process ($ZNET, or the SCP process specified for the -s startup
parameter) must be running. If the SCP process is not available, the Ethernet
Subagent enters a loop trying to reconnect to it at the rate specified in its
zesaKeepAliveTimer object.
Note.
You can access the Ethernet Subagent’s private MIB objects regardless of the status of
the SCP process.
