Book B
Configuring the RA 6300 for SNMP
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
Before an SNMP network management application can monitor or
manage the RA 6300, you must define certain configuration data,
including the SNMP agent and related RA 6300 parameters.
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Entries in the gateway section of the configuration file, which is
downloaded during RA 6300 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 RA 6300 SNMP agent:
• community
• traphost
• contact
• location
The following subsections detail each of these keywords as well as the
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
