Bastille Interactions

EMS requires SNMP daemon (snmpdm) to query SNMP MIBs and to send SNMP trap

notiﬁcations. Selecting an install-time security level while installing the operating system

causes the SNMP daemon (snmpdm) to be shutdown. Therefore, if your system is conﬁgured

with any install-time security level, any SNMP MIB-related query or snmp trap notiﬁcation

will fail. The same behavior will result if snmpdm is disabled manually or by using a tool such

as HP-UX Bastille.

If you want to secure the system using HP-UX Bastille interactively, ensure that the SNMP

daemon service is not disabled for EMS to function properly. Alternatively, after using an

install-time security level, you can manually start the SNMP daemon and related SNMP

subagents mib2agt, hp_unixagt, and trapdestagt.
