Introduction to SCF for the SNMP Agent

PROFILE Object States

The PROFILE object is always in one of the DEFINED, STARTED, or STOPPED
states.
Table 4-3 describes the states supported for the PROFILE object:

Table 4-3. PROFILE Object States

State Description
DEFINED The PROFILE object has been configured with the SCF ADD command but
has not been initially activated for use in the NonStop agent authentication
scheme.
STARTED The entry in the authentication table is available for the NonStop agent
process to use for security checking.
STOPPED The PROFILE object is configured but is not currently being used in the
NonStop agent authentication scheme. It has been explicitly stopped with the
SCF STOP or ABORT command.
Figure 4-8 illustrates the state transition sequence for the PROFILE object.

PROFILE Object Attributes

The following attributes are supported for the PROFILE object:
ACCESS specifies the level of authority of an associated community to retrieve
and alter network management information.
COMMUNITY specifies the community name that must be present in requests sent
by managers for the NonStop agent to accept the request.
HOSTADDR specifies the Internet address of the manager(s) whose security is
being defined in the authentication table entry.
For a detailed description of these attributes, see the

Default PROFILE Object

When you initially start the NonStop agent process with the default WARM option, the
following PROFILE object is automatically configured and started:
PROFILE $agent-process.#DEFAULT, COMMUNITY "public",
ACCESS READONLY, HOSTADDR "0.0.0.0"
This default PROFILE object is stored in the SNMPCTL file.
