Before You Use The Snmp Agent - Intermec 6400 User Manual

6400 TCP/IP Client
2-60 6400 Computer TCP/IP Client User's Guide
The snmpd command starts a TSR program that provides
an agent for SNMP requests that follow RFC 1065,
Structure and Identification of Management Information for
TCP/IP-Based Internets, and RFC 1067, A Simple Network
Management Protocol.
The DOS SNMP agent supports most of the MIB 1 SNMP
MIB defined in RFC 1156, Management Information Base
for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets.
Appendix D is Section 6 of the RFC (Definitions).

Before You Use the SNMP Agent

Ensure the kernel is installed and that
the COMMUNIT.CNF and TRAPCOMM.CNF files are
"
in the same directory as the DOS SNMP agent,
SNMPD.EXE.
for another host to access your 6400 computer's SNMP
"
agent, that host has an SNMP network management
product (such as HP OpenView, or software from
another vendor).
you load the TSR kernel before you invoke the snmpd
"
command.
An SNMP network management product (such as a
personal computer running the PC/SNMP Tools
applications) displays the object IDs (associated text names)
for the MIB variables. If you are using another network
management product, refer to its documentation to
determine if that product supports nonnumeric names or
MIB variables.
As an add on agent for kernels, the snmpd program
requires two UDP connections. The kernel allows only four
UDP connections by default. You should increase the
number of available UDP connections if you use the snmpd
program when you use other programs that use UDP
connections. For more information, see the ethdrv
command (page 2 31).
