those scripts are merely symbolic links to the automatic start-up/shutdown script under

/sbin/init.d ,

following the same naming conventions documented in the rc(1M) manual page. These scripts are executed

by the

/usr/sbin/snmpd

command. See the IndependentStart-up section for procedures for starting

naaagt.

Independent Start-up

The third-party SNMP agent and its Native Agent Adapter can be started by entering commands directly

or by executing an arbitrary script. When this approach is used, the

naaagt-K option should probably be

used because the third-party agent and adapter will not be restarted by the

/usr/sbin/snmpd

com-

mand.

The following procedure should be used to start

naaagt for each third-party agent.

• Export

HP_NAA_PORT , which must be set to a unique port number.

• Export HP_NAA_CNF , which must be set to an absolute path name for a third-party-speciﬁc

naaCnf ﬁle. Create the naaCnf ﬁle; refer to third-party documentation for a list of the OIDs

that are instrumented by the third-party SNMP agent.

• Export HP_NAA_GET_COMMUNITY

, which must be set to the community name to be used in

SNMP requests forwarded from

naaagt to the third-party SNMP agent. This environment vari-

able is required only if the third-party agent is conﬁgured to use a community name other than the

default ("public").

• Create a unique symbolic link to /usr/sbin/naaagt

. This makes it convenient to distinguish

each Native Agent Adapter in output from the

ps -ef command. Execute the symbolic link to

start naaagt.

• Start the third-party SNMP agent, following procedures in the third-party documentation. This

can be done before or after starting naaagt.

naaCnf File Format

The naaCnf ﬁle consists of a list of numeric object identiﬁers (OIDs), one OID per line. Each OID is a

subtree of MIB variables that are instrumented by the third-party SNMP agent. Refer to third-party docu-

mentation for the list of OIDs. Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are treated as comments. Leading

and trailing spaces on a line are ignored. The OID can start with an optional period.

Example

# RDBMS MIB (with leading period)

.1.3.6.1.2.1.39

# Third-party Private MIB (without leading period)

1.3.6.1.4.1.111

# application/applTable MIB

1.3.6.1.2.1.27.1.1

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

HP_NAA_CNF The absolute path name for the naaCnf ﬁle from which the Native Agent

Adapter reads the OIDs to be registered for its third-party SNMP agent. Default

(not recommended): /etc/SnmpAgent.d/naa.cnf

HP_NAA_GET_COMMUNITY

The community name that the Native Agent Adapter uses in SNMP requests for-

warded to the third-party SNMP agent. Note that this does not have to match

any community names accepted by the SNMP Master Agent, which are deﬁned in

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf. This environment variable is required

only if the standard community name ("public") is not accepted by the third-party

SNMP agent. Refer to third-party documentation for instructions regarding

SNMP community names. Default: public.

HP_NAA_PORT The non-standard UDP port number to which the Native Agent Adapter forwards

SNMP requests to the third-party SNMP agent. This must match the port

number that the third-party agent listens to instead of the standard SNMP port

(161). Each third-party SNMP agent must listen to a different non-standard UDP

port number. Default: 8161.
