Solstice X.25 9.2 Administration Guide

Appendix D Installing the Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Agent

The Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager agent (hereafter referred to as Domain Manager agent) is included with Solstice X.25 in the SUNWx25b package. When Solstice X.25 is installed, the Domain Manager agent and its associated files are copied to the /opt/SUNWconn/x25/snm directory.

The Domain Manager agent is designed for use on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 systems.


Note -

The Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager agent was formerly called the SunNet Manager agent.


To install the Domain Manager agent on a system running Solstice X.25, log in as root and do the following:

  1. Install the SUNWsnmag package on the system where this agent is to run.

    This package is part of the Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager product. It contains all the standard Domain Manager agents, together with the libraries they need to run.


    Note -

    If you are installing the Domain Manager agent on an x86 system, you will need to install the SUNW86nma and SUNW86nmc packages instead.


  2. Copy the files na.x25 and x25.schema from the /opt/SUNWconn/x25/snm directory to the Domain Manager agents directory.

    This directory is usually named /opt/SUNWconn/snm/agents.

  3. Add the following line to include Solstice X.25 in the inetd.conf file:


    na.x25/10    tli rpc/udp wait root /opt/SUNWconn/snm/agents/na.x25       na.x25
  4. Add the following line to either the /etc/rpc file (if you are not using a naming service such as NIS), or to your rpc.bynumber map (if you are using a naming service).


    x25             100114  na.x25
  5. If the Domain Manager console is not running locally, add the following line to the file /etc/opt/SUNWconn/snm/snm.conf


    na.x25.trap.host hostname
    

    where hostname is the name of the system where the Domain Manager console is running.

  6. Kill then restart inetd.

    Use the ps --e command to display the process number of the inetd process. Then, as root, enter a kill -HUP command to restart the inetd daemon. For example:


    hostname# ps -e | grep inetd | grep -v grep
    120 ? 0:02 inetd hostname# kill -HUP 120
    

    Repeat steps two to four and step six on the Domain Manager console.

    On the Domain Manager console machine, to retrieve information on a Solstice X.25 VC from a target Solstice X.25 machine, use the "quick dump" or "data report" SNM requests. The following is an example of output received from the X.25 agent:


    Wed Jul 15 05:20:32 1999 [ fullmoon ] : Quick Dump: x25.circuit
    pid lcn linkid  in/out  hdlc_state  pkt_lev  state          opkts ipkts address
     0  4095  2      IN      UP          UP       Data Transfer  25    39    222210101

    The fields in the agent output are explained as follows:


    lcn

    logical channel number of virtual circuit being reported on


    linkid

    link number on which the virtual circuit takes place


    in or out

    direction of virtual circuit (either the initiator or receiver of call)


    hdlc_state

    state of the LAPB link, up or down


    pkt_lev

    state of the X.25 layer, up or down


    state

    state of the X.25 network software, unknown, up, or down


    opkts

    Number of packets sent (valid only if connection is up; reset to zero when connection is up)


    ipkts

    Number of packets received (valid only if connection is up; reset to zero when connection is up)


    address

    X.121 address of remote host
