Access to subagent MIB objects is controlled by both the NonStop agent and the
subagent:
•
The NonStop agent passes requests to subagents when the request is from a manager
station configured in the agent’s authentication table.
•
The subagent logic and MIB object attributes determine whether managers can
access specific MIB objects and the operations they can perform on them.
More information about security can be found later in this section, under “Installing
Subagents.”
