NET.CFG Options Reference
Desktop SNMP Option
You can define some parameters for your workstation environment in the
NET.CFG file (or other defined configuration file). The following table
explains these parameters.
Each of these parameters is optional and can be used in groups or separately.
The first parameter enables the workstation to notify a network supervisor
that an unauthorized user is trying to access the workstation without proper
authority.
The last three parameters define information that can be retrieved by SNMP
management stations or reported in SNMP traps.
Following is an example of a NET.CFG entry that notifies Suzanne Morley
that an unauthorized user is tying to access the network:
desktop snmp
sysname “Suzanne Morley x893”
syslocation “Building 2”
syscontact “[e-mail]”
snmpenableauthentraps on
Table 2-4 Desktop SNMP Option Parameters for MIB-II Support
Parameter Explanation
snmpenableauthentrap The snmpenableauthentraps parameter defaults to
“off.” When set to “on,” it instructs Desktop
SNMP to send a trap message if someone without
proper access tries to use SNMP to get or change
information that Desktop SNMP manages.
syscontact Use the real name of the person who should be
contacted if your workstation needs maintenance.
syslocation Use the physical location of your workstation.
sysname Use your user or login name—or your
TCP/IP host name, if one is assigned.
