Configuring the Annex for SNMP
Before an SNMP network management application can monitor or
manage the Annex, you must define certain configuration data, including
the SNMP agent and related Annex parameters.
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Entries in the gateway section of the configuration file, which is
downloaded during Annex initialization, both enable the SNMP agent
and define the operating characteristics of the SNMP daemon that
controls the SNMP agent
configuration file, see Parsing the Configuration File
The gateway section of the configuration file contains four optional
keywords for configuring the Annex SNMP agent:
•
community
•
traphost
•
contact
•
location
The following subsections detail each of these keywords as well as the
Annex parameters required for use with SNMP.
A sample entry in the gateway section of the configuration file looks like
this:
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
snmp location computer room
