Introduction to SCF for the SNMP Agent

The PROFILE Object

The PROFILE object type represents an entry in the authentication table which the
NonStop agent process consults to determine whether to accept an incoming request.
The attributes of the PROFILE object type define the contents of the following table
entry fields:
Community name (COMMUNITY attribute)
Internet address (HOSTADDR attribute)
Access mode (ACCESS attribute)
If components of an incoming SNMP request match a PROFILE object definition, the
NonStop agent either processes or forwards the request to the appropriate subagent.
If they do not, the NonStop agent rejects the request.
The components of a NonStop agent configuration represented by the PROFILE object
type and its attributes are highlighted in bold in

Naming Conventions: PROFILE Object

You assign a unique name to each entry in the authentication table being used by a
given NonStop agent process. The name consists of:
The name of the PROCESS object that identifies the NonStop agent process using
the authentication table
A period (.)
A pound sign (#)
A logical identifier representing the PROFILE object definition
The logical identifier consists of an alphabetic character followed by up to six additional
alphanumeric characters.
For example:
$ZSNMP.#PROFILE
In the SCF command syntax descriptions, the logical identifier associated with an
authentication table entry is referred to as its profile-name. The syntax for
specifying a PROFILE object type:
command PROFILE [$agent-process.]#profile-name
Note. If you set a default PROCESS with the ASSUME PROCESS command, you can omit
the NonStop agent process name and period, and just specify #profile-name, for example:
-> ASSUME PROCESS $ZSNMP
-> INFO PROFILE #PROFILE
-> STATUS PROFILE #PROFILE
