Starting and Stopping the Trap Multiplexer
Starting and Stopping the Trap Multiplexer
To use the subagent functions of the Trap Multiplexer, the SNMP agent must be
running before the Trap Multiplexer is started. If the agent is not running, start it with
the RUN command:
RUN SNMPAGT /NAME $agent-process, NOWAIT/
For complete information on starting the SNMP agent, refer to Section 2, Installing and
Configuring the SNMP Agent.
Start the Trap Multiplexer by entering the RUN command at a terminal that is running
the TACL program. To monitor port 162 (the standard SNMP port for receiving traps),
the Trap Multiplexer must be started by a member of the super user group (user ID
255, n). In addition, ensure that you specify the name of a running SNMP agent and
that the TCP/IP processes and port you specify are not in use by another Trap
Multiplexer process. Assuming the name of the SNMP agent is $ZSNMP, the following
is an example of starting the Trap Multiplexer so that it receives traps on port 162 from
the TCP/IP processes $ZTC0 and $ZTC1.
RUN SNMPTMUX /NAME $ZTMX/ -t ($ZTC0, $ZTC1)
The following is an example of starting the Trap Multiplexer so that it receives traps on
port 162 from one or more TCP/IP processes with IP addresses.
RUN SNMPTMUX /NAME $ZTMX/ -t ($ZTC0, ($ZTC1:192.168.10.31))
The Trap Multiplexer can also be started with optional PARAMs. (See Using the -t and
PARAM Startup Parameters on page 12-10.)
PARAM $ZTC2
PARAM 192.168.10.44
RUN SNMPTMUX /NAME $ZTMX/ -t ($ZTC0, ($ZTC1:192.168.10.31))
Syntax of the startup parameters follows established conventions used in the UNIX
environment.
volume
identifies the volume on which SNMPTMUX resides. You can omit it if SNMPTMUX
resides on your current subvolume. By default, the installation program puts
SNMPTMUX into $SYSTEM.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which SNMPTMUX resides. You can omit it if it is
named in your TACL #PMSEARCHLIST. By default, the installation program puts
SNMPTMUX into SYSnn.
