ENDPOINT Object Attributes
Figure 4-6 illustrates the state transition sequence for the ENDPOINT object.
ENDPOINT Object Attributes
The following attributes are supported for the ENDPOINT object:
•
HOSTADDR identifies the TCP/IP process handling communication between the
NonStop agent process and managers for the receiving and sending of SNMP
request/response messages.
•
NETWORK specifies the Internet addresses by which the NonStop agent is known
to the network.
For a description of these attributes, see the ADD Command on page 5-5.
Default ENDPOINT Object
When you initially start the NonStop agent process with the default WARM and
TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME options, the following ENDPOINT object is automatically
configured and started:
ENDPOINT $agent-process.#DEFAULT,NETWORK $ZTC0,HOSTADDR
"0.0.0.0"
This default ENDPOINT object is stored in the SNMPCTL file.
Table 4-2. ENDPOINT Object States
State Description
DEFINED The ENDPOINT object has been configured with the SCF ADD command but
has not been initially activated for use in the NonStop agent operations
environment.
STARTED The ENDPOINT object is either ready to accept or in the process of handling
requests.
STARTING The ENDPOINT object has been started, but it has not been able to open the
TCP/IP process specified by its NETWORK attribute.
STOPPING The ENDPOINT object is in the process of stopping. The ENDPOINT object
enters this state while the NonStop agent completes any outstanding requests
when a STOP or ABORT command was issued.
STOPPED The ENDPOINT object is configured but not currently being used by the
NonStop agent. It has either been explicitly stopped with an SCF STOP or
ABORT command, or an external resource on which it depends is
unavailable.
