SNMP Configuration and Management Manual
IPX/SPX Subagent (G-Series)
SNMP Configuration and Management Manual—424777-006

Configuration
The subagent can communicate with multiple SNMP agent processes and multiple 
IPXPROTO processes running on the same or remote nodes. The subagent can send 
event messages to an EMS collector process on the same or a remote node. More 
information about subagent configuration appears in the following subsection.
Configuration
You can configure the behavior of the subagent at startup or by setting the value of 
MIB objects in the zisa group from an SNMP manager after startup. Table 13-1 
summarizes the available options. 
All subagent attributes that can be controlled by setting MIB object values are 
reinitialized to default values when the subagent is restarted, or to values specified in 
startup parameters. Refer to Starting and Stopping the Subagent for information on 
configuration using startup parameters. Refer to subsequent subsections for 
information on settable MIB objects.
