When the SNMP agent starts, it evaluates all startup parameters in this order:
1. A default value is assigned to every startup parameter.
2. PARAM statements are processed. Unrecognizable or erroneous parameters are
ignored without comment.
3. Startup parameters in the RUN command line are processed. With the exception of
the SWAPVOL startup parameter, unrecognized or erroneous parameters cause
the SNMP agent process to terminate. If you define a swap volume as anything
other than a local disk, the SWAPVOL startup parameter is ignored, and a warning
message is issued.
RUN Command
To start the SNMP agent, use the RUN command. No additional configuration beyond
that provided through the RUN command startup parameters is required for the SNMP
agent to receive and reply to SNMP requests solely through NonStop Kernel IPC calls.
However, even in this limited scope, additional configuration is required to allow the
SNMP agent to forward traps to SNMP managers that communicate through NonStop
Kernel IPC calls.
volume
identifies the volume on which the SNMP agent program file SNMPGT resides.
You can omit the SNMP agent program if SNMPAGT resides on your current
subvolume.
By default, when you install the SNMP agent, SNMPAGT is placed in
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which SNMPAGT resides. You can omit the subvolume
parameter if it is named in your TACL #PMSEARCHLIST.
Note. You also define some components of the SNMP agent configuration by using RUN line
startup options, but these settings persist only as long as the agent process is running.
