SCF Commands for the SNMP Agent
START Command
The START command:
Activates an object in a NonStop agent configuration
Is not valid for the PROCESS object
Is a sensitive command
START ENDPOINT Command
Use the START ENDPOINT command to activate a request/response connection.
START ENDPOINT [$agent-process.]#endpoint-name
[$agent-process.]#endpoint-name
identifies the request/response connection to activate.
$agent-process
identifies the NonStop agent process to which the ENDPOINT object belongs.
It consists of a dollar sign ($) followed by one to five alphanumeric characters,
the first of which must be alphabetic.
#endpoint-name
identifies the ENDPOINT object. It consists of a pound sign (#) followed by one
to seven alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
Considerations: START ENDPOINT
When you START an ENDPOINT object, if the TCP/IP subnet represented by the
object definition is not available, the ENDPOINT object enters the STARTING state,
and the NonStop agent periodically tries to access the resources. When the resource
becomes available, the ENDPOINT object enters the STARTED state.
Example: START ENDPOINT
The following example opens communication between NonStop agent process
$ZSNMP and managers through the request/response connection defined by the
#SOCKET1 object:
-> START ENDPOINT $ZSNMP.#SOCKET1
START PROFILE Command
Use the START PROFILE command to activate a defined authentication table entry.
START PROFILE [$agent-process.]#profile-name
