Starting the TCP/IP Subagent
-a [\node.]$agent-process
is the name of the SNMP agent process with which you want the TCP/IP
Subagent to communicate.
The default value is $ZSNMP on the same node as the subagent.
-b backup-cpu-number
is the processor number in which a backup process is to be created.
The default value is -1, indicating that no backup is to be created.
-c [\node.]$collector-process
is the name of the collector to which the subagent is to send EMS event
messages it generates.
The default is $0, the primary EMS collector, on the local node.
-info info-cache-refresh-timer
specifies, in seconds, the rate at which the TCP/IP Subagent updates values of
objects that it retrieves by issuing a SPI INFO command.
The range for info-cache-refresh is 0 to 32000. A value of 0 disables this
timer, indicating that SPI INFO-derived MIB values are refreshed only when the
ztsaRefreshNow object is set to forceDynamicRefresh (1).
The default is 180 seconds.
-k keep-alive-timer
specifies the time interval, in seconds, between attempts by the TCP/IP
Subagent to reconnect to a TCP/IP, SNMP agent, backup, or EMS collector
process that is in the disconnected state.
The default value is 60.
-s [($tcpip-subsystem1[,...,$tcpip-subsystemn])]
identifies the TCP/IP subsystem(s) for which the subnets information is to be
instrumented. If you do not specify any TCP/IP subsystems, the TCP/IP
subagent instruments the information about the subnets of all the TCP/IP
subsystems.
Note. EMS event generation is always enabled at process startup. To disable the
sending of events, set the value of the ztsaEmsCollectorState object to disabled (3)
once the TCP/IP Subagent is running.
Note. This timer value does not apply to objects that are placed in the disabled state
by an SNMP Set request. See State Object/Resource Object Pairs
on page 8-28 for
information on the possible states that can be set for processes used by the TCP/IP
Subagent.
