Defining sysContact and sysLocation Variables

You can edit the CONFIG file to add initial values for sysContact and sysLocation, which specify the sysContact and sysLocation MIB-II variables. The strings for sysContact and sysLocation in this example are enclosed in quotes. Any string that contains spaces, line breaks, and tabs must be enclosed in quotes. You can also specify the value in hexadecimal notation.

Here is an example of a CONFIG file with sysContract and sysLocation variables defined:

COMMUNITY          public
                        ALLOW ALL OPERATIONS
MANAGER            nms2                   
                   SEND ALL TRAPS TO PORT 162
                   WITH COMMUNITY public

INITIAL            sysLocation “Server room
501 East Middlefield Road
Mountain View, CA 94043USA”

INITIAL            sysContact “John Doe
