HP Insight Management Agents 8.40 Installation Guide

Installation instructions for NetWare 16
your environment configuration. Be sure to place the alarm destination address under the appropriate protocol section
and to indent each address with at least one space.
Verify that the network address of the management console where Insight Manager runs is included in
TRAPTARG.CFG.
To help you determine the network address of your management console when using IPX, you can execute the
USERLIST program from the management console by entering the following command at the DOS prompt:
USERLIST /A
For NetWare 4.11, enter the following command:
NLIST USER /A
A list of PCs logged in to the system is displayed along with the address of each. The PC listed with an asterisk
preceding the user name is the PC you are using. The TRAPTARG.CFG file needs both the network address and the
node address provided by USERLIST.
NOTE: If you enter trap destinations into your TRAPTARG.CFG file, you must shut down the system and restart
it for the destinations to be active.
To verify that you have the proper address configured, use CPQAGIN. At the system console prompt, enter the
following command:
LOAD CPQAGIN
Select the Initiate Test Trap option. This option delivers an alarm to each configured management application.
Setting up SNMP community strings
The final step in installing Management Agents for Servers is to set up SNMP community strings. SNMP defines a
community as the relationship between an SNMP agent and one or more SNMP managers. When SNMP messages
are exchanged, they contain two parts:
• A community name and information to validate that the entity sending SNMP messages is a member of an
identified community
• Data
The community name defines the authentication mechanism.
Management Agents for Servers for NetWare enables two different user communities to be specified—the monitor
community and the control community. The monitor community is designed to give read-only privileges to all SNMP
attributes. The control community provides read-write or set privileges.
Use CPQAGIN.NLM or INETCFG to configure community strings. To enable Insight Manager to perform set operations
on system parameters on a NetWare system, you must specify a control community.
NOTE: If you want read-write or set privileges, you must use a control community name other than “public.”
