Accessing PRM’s SNMP data
You can access SNMP information through a command-line interface, known as snmpwalk, and
through a graphical user interface called xnmbrowser. Using these utilities is described below.
Using OpenView’s snmpwalk
NOTE: Secure sites may want to disable prmagt to avoid unwanted information exchange. If
prmagt is to be used, it is strongly recommended that it be used only on a trusted internal network
protected by firewalls and access controls, due to known issues with the SNMP protocol.
To use snmpwalk to view the PRM data:
