HP SNMP/XL User's Guide (36922-90036)

3 Using SNMPUTIL

Control of the HP SNMP/XL subsystem is provided through a User

Deﬁned Command (UDC) and a set of MPE/iX command ﬁles that

invoke the SNMPUTIL program. The SNMPCONTROL UDC ﬁle

(SNMPUDC) and command ﬁles are located in the NET group of the

SYS account.

The SNMPUTIL is responsible for creating the SNMP process on

startup and sending a shutdown message to the stack process, in order

to start and stop the SNMP stack. It also can be used to generate SNMP

requests, format responses back to the user, and generate SNMP traps.

It is necessary to have NM capability in order to use either the

command line interface or the SNMPCONTROL command. When the

command line interface is used, the SNMPUTIL process is responsible

for outputting the input/output packets.

This chapter consists of the following major topics:

• SNMPCONTROL User Deﬁned Command.

• SNMP command ﬁles.
