tracing stops when the backup process takes over. The SCF trace file is closed
and preserved when the backup process takes over.
TRAPPORT trap-port-number
specifies the trap port to send traps from the agent. If you do not specify this
option, the default value for the trap port will remain 162.
Special Considerations for Users of Logical Network Partitions
(LNPs)
Like NonStop TCP/IP, NonStop TCP/IPv6 allows you to restrict the connectivity of
applications to particular subnets. However, TCP/IPv6 allows this through the creation
of Logical Network Partitions (LNPs). The TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management
Manual gives a detailed explanation of how to create and use LNPs.
Each LNP is associated with a separate TCP6SAM process. Thus, each LNP on
which you want to provide SNMP services requires that you run a separate instance of
the SNMP Agent.
To provide SNMP services on one or more LNPs, you must issue a RUN command
from a different subvolume for each of those LNPs.
For example, from within one subvolume, specify:
RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SNMPAGT / NAME $znm0 / &
TCP^IP^PROCESS^NAME $zb03A
From within another, specify:
RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SNMPAGT / NAME $znm1 / &
TCP^IP^PROCESS^NAME $zb01a
Note. If your RUN command does not specify a TCP6SAM process associated with a
particular LNP, an SMNP Agent has access only to the subnets comprising the Default
Partition.
