iMG/RG Software Reference Manual (System Configuration)
1.6.3.2 Defining target addresses
To configure a target address (to which a notification should be sent), add one or more snmpTargetAd-
drEntry definition in the snmpd.cnf file accordingly the following syntax:
snmpTargetAddrEntry <snmpTargetAddrName> <snmpTargetAddrTDomain>
<snmpTargetAddrTAddress> <snmpTargetAddrTimeout> <snmpTargetAddrRe-
tryCount> <snmpTargetAddrTagList> <snmpTargetAddrParams> <snmpTar-
getAddrStorageType> <snmpTargetAddrTMask> <snmpTargetAddrMMS>
snmpTargetAddrName
is a human readable string representing the name of this target.
snmpTargetAddrTDomain
is an OID which indicates the network type (UDP/IP,IPX,etc.). For UDP/IP transport type, the OID value (in
dotted format) is 1.3.6.1.6.1.1 or equivalent (in English name) snmpUDPDomain.
snmpTargetAddrTAddress
is a valid address in the snmpTargetAddrTDomain. For snmpTargetAddrTDomain equal to snmpUD-
PDomain, a valid address would be 192.147.142.35:0, where the value after the colon is the UDP port
number. This address is used as the destination address for outgoing notifications.
Note: If the port number is specified as zero, the actual destination port used for the outgoing notification
message is set to the default 162
snmpTargetAddrTimeout
is an integer which identifies the expected maximum round-trip time (in hundredths of seconds) for com-
municating with the snmpTargetAddrTAddress.
When an Inform is sent to this address, and a response is not received within this time period, the SNMP entity
will assume that the response will not be delivered. The default value of 1500 (15 seconds) is suggested by
RFC2573. If the outgoing message type is not Inform then this field is ignored.
snmpTargetAddrRetryCount
is an integer which identifies the number of times the SNMP entity will attempt to retransmit an Inform when a
response is not received. The default value of 3 is suggested by RFC2573. If the outgoing message type is not
Inform, then this field is ignored.
snmpTargetAddrTagList
is a quoted string containing one or more (space-separated) tags. These tags correspond to the value of snmp-
NotifyTag in the snmpNotifyTable. A notification defined in the snmpNotifyTable will be sent to
the address specified in snmpTargetAddrTDomain if the notification’s snmpNotifyTag appears in this
list of tags.
snmpTargetAddrParams
is a human readable string that is used to select a set of entries in the snmpTargetParamsTable
snmpTargetAddrStorageType
is nonVolatile, permanent, or readOnly.
