Authentication Table Entries

The SNMP agent’s zagInProfile group objects define the authentication table entries to

be used for authenticating requests received from managers that communicate with

the SNMP agent through TCP/IP. (For information on how requests received through

NonStop Kernel IPC calls are authenticated. In Figure 2-5, the authentication table

permits the SNMP agent to accept Get and GetNext requests from any SNMP

manager belonging to the “public” community, as well as Set requests sent under the

“Private” community from the SNMP manager whose address is 130.252.15.230.

Within the zagInProfile group, each row in the zagInProfileTable represents one

authentication table entry and corresponds to an SCF PROFILE object.

Because of security issues, zagInProfile group objects can be accessed only through

SNMP requests received though NonStop Kernel IPC calls. Requests for operations on

objects in the zagInProfile group are performed only if the process accessor ID (PAID)

of the manager process is compatible with that of the agent process. In Figure 2-5, the

authentication table permits the SNMP agent to accept Get and GetNext requests from

any SNMP manager belonging to the “public” community, as well as Set requests sent

under the “Private” community from the SNMP manager whose address is

130.252.15.230. zagInProfile group objects are not accessible through TCP/IP’s UDP

transport protocol.

SNMP Agent Private MIB Objects

Table 3-11 lists the SNMP agent’s private MIB objects that define the underlying

resources comprising the SNMP agent’s operations environment. SNMP agent private

MIB objects that describe the SNMP agent process itself (the zagInProcess group

objects, all of which are read-only) are not listed..

Table 3-10 gives the initial values of objects in the SNMP Agent’s MIB.

Note. The zagInProfile group objects can only be accessed through SNMP requests received

though NonStop Kernel IPC calls. Requests for operations on objects in the zagInProfile group

are performed only if the PAID of the manager process is compatible with that of the agent

process. In Figure 2-5, the authentication table permits the SNMP agent to accept Get and

GetNext requests from any SNMP manager belonging to the “public” community, as well as Set

requests sent under the “Private” community from the SNMP manager whose address is

130.252.15.230. The zagInProfile group objects are not accessible through TCP/IP’s UDP

transport protocol.
