Table 13–5 (Cont.) Timing and Timeout Handling Options
SNMP_ARE_YOU_THERE_TIME
Logical name: TCPIP$SNMP_ARE_YOU_THERE_TIME
Format: config SNMP_ARE_YOU_THERE_TIME seconds
Description: Specifies the time subagents wait between sending the
esnmp_are_you_there( ) message to the master agent.
For the OS_MIBS and the HR_MIB, the default is 5400 seconds (90
minutes).
If you also specify the
SNMP_INACT_TIME option, make sure the
value of the SNMP_ARE_YOU_THERE_TIME option is less than or
equal to the value of the SNMP_INACT_TIME option.
Type: Dynamic
SNMP_POLL_TIME
Logical name: TCPIP$SNMP_POLL_TIME
Format:
config SNMP_POLL_TIME seconds
Description: Specifies the interval between times that interface counts and other
values are reset for standard subagents.
Type: Dynamic
SNMP_INACT_TERM
Logical name: TCPIP$SNMP_INACT_TERM
Format: config SNMP_INACT_TERM n
Description: In this format, n can be 1 (to terminate the master agent) or 0 (to
never terminate the master agent). Specify the amount of time to
wait using the SNMP_INACT_TIME option.
Type: Dynamic
SNMP_INACT_TIME
Logical name: TCPIP$SNMP_INACT_TIME
Format: config SNMP_INACT_TIME seconds
Description: Specifies (in seconds) the amount of time that must pass before the
subagent is considered inactive (that is, the amount of time during
which the master agent receives no message from the subagent).
See also the SNMP_INACT_TERM and SNMP_ARE_YOU_THERE_
TIME options.
Type: Dynamic
Time-related parameters are important in determining the responsiveness of the
SNMP agents to client requests, particularly on systems with limited memory or
those that are heavily loaded.
