The SNMPCTL File and TRAPPORT
The SNMPCTL File and TRAPPORT
The SNMPCTL file created using earlier versions of the SNMP agent is not compatible
with the T9576G06 version. A workaround is to purge the old SNMPCTL file.
PARAM Statements’ Custom Configuration for
the RUN Command
You can use TACL PARAM statements to set startup parameters prior to issuing the
RUN command. Set the parameters one at a time, using the syntax described in RUN
command
startup-parameter on page 2-8, and precede the parameters with the
keyword PARAM.
For example, these PARAM statements
PARAM DATAPAGES 4000 E
PARAM TRACE
PARAM TRAPPORT 2000
SNMPAGT /NAME $ZSNMP, NOWAIT, CPU 4/ 6
are equivalent to the following RUN command:
SNMPAGT /NAME $ZSNMP, NOWAIT, CPU 4/ 6, &
DATAPAGES 4000 E, TRACE, TRAPPORT 2000
Using SCF to Configure Components of the
SNMP Agent Environment
A third way to configure and manage the SNMP agent environment is with SCF. The
following five components of the SNMP agent can be configured using SCF.
Refer to Part II, SCF for the SNMP Agent for complete information on SCF commands
for SNMP.
SNMP Agent Process
The SCF PROCESS object represents the SNMP agent process. The only attribute
you can manage through the SCF interface is the EMS collector to which the SNMP
agent process sends event messages it generates.
Security
The SCF PROFILE object defines an entry in an authentication table that the SNMP
agent consults to determine whether to accept or reject incoming requests from SNMP
managers that communicate through TCP/IP.
Each SCF PROFILE object corresponds to a row in the SNMP agent’s private
zagInProfileTable.
