WARM | COLD Custom Configuration Parameters for the RUN 
Command
The startup parameters COLD and WARM allow you to customize how the SNMP 
agent functions. For details about COLD and WARM parameters see page 2-9.
If you start the SNMP agent using the WARM startup parameter, a default operations 
environment (from RUN command parameters) is automatically configured. 
If you start the SNMP agent using the COLD startup parameter, you must explicitly 
configure all aspects of the operations environment.
The SNMPCTL File and the WARM Startup Parameter
When you start the SNMP agent using the WARM startup parameter (the default) and 
no SNMPCTL file exists in the run subvolume (the first time you start an SNMP agent 
process), the SNMP agent creates an SNMPCTL file and fills it with default RUN 
command configuration values. You can then modify the SNMP file using RUN 
command parameters, SCF, PARAM statements, or SNMP requests.
WARM is the default value.
TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME 
[/node.]$tcpip-process
The default TCP/IP process to 
be used when 
request/response connections 
and trap destinations are 
defined for the SNMP
 agent. 
For Parallel Library TCP/IP, 
this is the TCPSAM process. 
See the TCP/IP (Parallel 
Library) Configuration and 
Management Manual.
For NonStop TCP/IPv6, this is 
the TCP6SAM process. See 
the TCP/IPV6 Configuration 
and Management Manual.
$ZTC0 on the local node.
TRACE Enables tracing of the backup 
agent process.
No parameter value is 
assigned, and no backup 
process tracing is enabled.
TRAPPORT
trap-port-number
The trap port number to send 
traps to manager.
162, the SNMP standard 
port for sending traps.
