Configuring the Model 5390 Server for SNMP
Before an SNMP network management application can monitor or manage the Model 5390 server,
you must define certain configuration data, including the SNMP agent and related Model 5390
parameters.
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Entries in the gateway section of the configuration file, which is downloaded during Model 5390
initialization, both enable the SNMP agent and define the operating characteristics of the SNMP
daemon that controls the SNMP agent
Parsing the Configuration File on page A14-3
The gateway section of the configuration file contains four optional keywords for configuring the
Model 5390 SNMP agent:
• community
• traphost
• contact
• location
The following subsections detail each of these keywords as well as the Model 5390 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
