Configuring the EMS Collector
Configuring the EMS collector requires the following tasks:
•
Direct the SNMP agent process to send its events to a specific EMS collector
•
Configure and manage the authentication mechanism by which the SNMP agent
accepts or rejects requests from SNMP managers through TCP/IP
•
Configure and manage TCP/IP request/response connections between the SNMP
agent and SNMP managers
•
Configure and manage the definitions of destinations to which the SNMP agent
sends traps
When you start the SNMP agent using the default startup parameters, the SNMP
agent sends its events to the EMS collector $0. To use an EMS collector other than $0:
•
Include the COLLECTOR startup parameter when you start the SNMP agent.
•
Use the SCF ALTER command to change the EMSCOLL attribute of the
PROCESS object.
Collector process information is not stored in the SNMPCTL file. When you stop and
restart an SNMP agent process, you must respecify the nondefault collector process to
which you want the SNMP agent to send its events.
Note. No MIB object exists in the SNMP agent’s private zagInProcess group for specifying the
EMS collector.
