Configuration
You can configure the behavior of the Host Resources Subagent at startup time or 
from an SNMP manager after startup. Table 11-1 summarizes the available options.
All subagent attributes that can be controlled by setting MIB object values are 
reinitialized when the subagent is restarted to default values or values specified in 
startup parameters.
Refer to Starting and Stopping the Subagent on page 11-12 for information on 
configuration using RUN startup parameters. Refer to subsequent subsections on 
individual MIB groups for information on settable MIB objects.
