Conﬁguring HP SNMP/XL

SNMPSAMP and SNMPCONF

The SNNP/XL product is shipped with a skeleton conﬁguration ﬁle,

SNMPSAMP.NET.SYS. When the system is started, SNMP is

automatically launched. The ﬁrst time this is done, the product copies

the SNMPSAMP ﬁle to the SNMPCONF ﬁle and initializes the

conﬁguration from the new SNMPCONF ﬁle. This ﬁle contains the

conﬁguration information for the HP SNMP/XL subsystem. Initially,

SNMPSAMP looks like this:

File Name: SNMPSAMP.NET.SYS

# $Revision: 5.1.1.2 $

# snmp/xl reads this configuration information from this file upon

# execution.

# When the SNMP/XL subsystem starts up, if the file SNMPCONF.NET.SYS does not

# exist,this file SNMPSAMP.NET.SYS, is copied to SNMPCONF.NET.SYS so that the

# SNMP/XL subsystem may successfully start.

# Enter appropriate values after the following keywords.

# agent-community-name:

# trap-dest:

# location:

# contact:

# agent-community-name: enter community name for the snmp agent. The

# agent will respond to any SNMP requests using this community name.

# If a community name is not entered, the agent will respond to get

# requests using any community name.

# example: to restrict the agent to only respond to get requests

# using the community name “secret,” enter:

# agent-community-name: secret

# trap-dest: enter the system name where traps will be sent. This system

# name is usually the hostname or IP address of the management station.

# example: to send the traps to system names “manager1,” and

# “15.2.113.223,” enter:

# trap-dest: manager1

# trap-dest: 15.2.113.223

# location: enter the physical location of the agent/system.

# example:if the agent is on the first floor near the west elevator, enter:
