TCP/IP Subagent

The TCP/IP Subagent and Its Managed Resources

Each TCP/IP Subagent manages only one HP TCP/IP subsystem. The TCP/IP
resources being managed by the TCP/IP Subagent must reside on the same node as
the TCP/IP Subagent. The TCP/IP Subagent can monitor the same TCP/IP resources
that the SNMP agent is using to communicate with SNMP managers. Each TCP/IP
Subagent can monitor subnets associated with the multiple TCP/IP subsystems.
You define the TCP/IP resources to be monitored and the SCP process with which the
TCP/IP Subagent communicates when you start the subagent. By default, the TCP/IP
Subagent monitors the TCP/IP process $ZTC0 running on the local node and
communicates through the SCP process $ZNET. You have to define the TCP/IP
resource(s) while starting the TCP/IP Subagent to monitor the subnet information
associated with them.

The NonStop TCP/IP Subagent and the SNMP Agent

Any SNMP agent process can communicate with only one TCP/IP Subagent process.
Because each TCP/IP Subagent can monitor only one TCP/IP subsystem, you must
start one SNMP agent/TCP/IP Subagent pair for each TCP/IP subsystem you want to
monitor.
The TCP/IP Subagent does not have to reside on the same node as the SNMP agent
with which it is communicating, but the TCP/IP resources being managed by the
TCP/IP Subagent must reside on the same node as the TCP/IP Subagent.
You define the SNMP agent with which the TCP/IP Subagent communicates when you
start the subagent. By default, the TCP/IP Subagent communicates with the SNMP
agent $ZSNMP on the same node as the subagent.
The Parallel Library TCP/IP Subagent and Its Managed
Resources
Note. H-series RVUs do not support Parallel Library TCP/IP.
To run SNMP over Parallel Library TCP/IP, you must define the name of a TCPSAM
process. You can find this process by issuing a LISTDEV TCPIP command to find a
process whose program name ends in TCPSAM. See the TCP/IP (Parallel Library)
Configuration and Management Manual for information about starting and using the
Parallel Library TCP/IP environment. Also, in Parallel Library TCP/IP, if you do want to
run multiple SNMP agents in each processor, you must bind the SNMP agents to a
specific IP address. To do this, add multiple subnets to the Parallel Library TCP/IP
subsystem and then bind your SNMP subagents to the IP addresses associated with
those subnets by altering the endpoint and changing the Hostaddr from 0.0.0.0 to a
specific IP address.
