Command Line Interface Guide

134 omconfig: Managing Components
CAUTION: Interactive mode is the more encrypted method of setting the SNMP
root password. In non-interactive mode, the values you enter for the
newpw and
confirmnewpw options appear on your system’s monitor when you type them.
In the interactive mode, the values you type for passwords are masked.
The parameters for configuring the SNMP root password are the same
whether you configure it interactively or iteratively.
NOTE: If you specify setting=rootpw but do not specify the other name=value pair
parameters, you enter interactive mode, and the command line prompts you for the
remaining values.
Table 4-17 shows the valid parameters for the command.
When you type omconfig preferences snmp setting=rootpw,
the system prompts you to supply values for the required parameters.
When you type omconfig preferences snmp, you must supply all the
parameters in the initial command line. For example:
omconfig preferences snmp setting=rootpw oldpw=
openmanage newpw=serveradmin confirmnewpw=
serveradmin
