Configuring the 5399 RAC for SNMP
Before an SNMP network management application can monitor or
manage the 5399 RAC, you must define certain configuration data,
including the SNMP agent and related 5399 RAC parameters.
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Entries in the gateway section of the configuration file, which is
downloaded during 5399 RAC initialization, both enable the SNMP agent
and define the operating characteristics of the SNMP daemon that
controls the SNMP agent
.
The gateway section of the configuration file contains four optional
keywords for configuring the 5399 RAC SNMP agent:
•
community
•
traphost
•
contact
•
location
Details of these keywords, as well as the parameters you for use with
SNMP, follow this section.
A sample entry in the gateway section of the configuration file looks like
this:
% gateway
annex 132.245.6.34
host 132.245.1.01 gateway 132.245.7 metric 1 hardwired
net 132.245.9.0 gateway 132.245.2.3 metric 1 hardwired
snmp contact john smith ext 370
