Multiple-Agent Connections
In Figure 2-6 a successful configuration involving two SNMP agents uses the same
TCP/IP process for request/response communications. In this configuration, the
following is assumed:
•
$ZSNM0 and $ZSNM1 were started from different subvolumes with the built-in
defaults.
•
The default request/response connection definition associated using each SNMP
agent was altered as illustrated in the following SCF commands:
STOP ENDPOINT $ZSNM1.#DEFAULT
STOP ENDPOINT $ZSNM0.#DEFAULT
ASSUME PROCESS $ZSNM1
ALTER ENDPOINT #DEFAULT, HOSTADDR 130.25.88.2
START ENDPOINT #DEFAULT
ASSUME PROCESS $ZSNM0
ALTER ENDPOINT #DEFAULT, HOSTADDR 130.25.88.1
START ENDPOINT #DEFAULT
Each SNMP agent now has a distinct subnet to handle communication with SNMP
managers.
