Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Defining the Location String
The keyword location defines the object that describes the Model 5390's location; for example,
computer room. The syntax is:
snmp location string
Defining the disabled_modules Parameter
The Model 5390 parameter disabled_modules allows you to turn off certain features during Annex
software initialization (for example, enter LAT, PPP, SLIP to turn these features off). If you disable
SNMP, the Model 5390 server will discard all SNMP messages it receives. By default, the SNMP
agent on the Model 5390 server is enabled (for more details, see disabled_modules on page C2-21).
Defining the allow_snmp_sets Parameter
The Model 5390 server's default setting for the allow_snmp_sets parameter does not permit
parameter value changes because the SNMP set command's header transmits the community string
in clear text, which may be a security risk. To modify parameters through SNMP, you must first set
allow_snmp_sets to yes using the na utility or the admin command. You cannot set this parameter
using SNMP (for more details, see allow_snmp_sets on page C2-11).
