Solstice X.25 9.2 Administration Guide

Appendix E Using the Solstice X.25 SNMP Agent

The Solstice SNMP agent (simple network management protocol) is included with Solstice X.25 9.2. SNMP is a non-proprietary network management protocol that runs over TCP/IP. If you have SNMP installed on a server, you may want to also install the Solstice X.25 SNMP Agent. You can then run the SNMP agent over a network that includes non-Sun machines. You can also use the SNMP agent with the Domain Manager (formerly SunNet Manager).

Solstice X.25 9.2 implements three MIBs (management information bases) which are defined in the IETF standards: RFC1381, RFC1382, RFC1461.

Using the SNMP Agent with SNMP

The snmpx25d daemon is the background server process for SNMP requests. To start the daemon, in x25tool, select Options => Start SNMP Agent automatically. The snmpx25d daemon will start when X.25 starts as long as the file /etc/rc3.d/snmpx25.control exists.

Alternatively, you can link the script /etc/init.d/snmpx25.control with /etc/rc3.d/snmpx25.control to allow automatic starting of this server process when the system is booted.

To stop the daemon, in x25tool, select Options => Don't Start SNMP Agent automatically

Note that:

The snmpx25d daemon does not implement the SNMP SET commands
The snmpx25d daemon does not implements the SNMP TRAPS
The snmpx25d daemon does not reply to incoming SET request

The SNMP configuration file is /etc/opt/SUNWconn/x25/snmpx25d.conf. The snmpx25d program logs traces in the file /var/opt/SUNWconn/snmpx25dlog.

Using the SNMP Agent with Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager

Note -

The Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager was formerly called the SunNet Manager (SNM).

The SNMP agent can also be used with Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager. To install the SNMP agent so that you can run it on a console running Solstice Domain Manager, log on as root and do the following:

Copy the files snmp-x25.oid and snmp-x25.schema from the /opt/SUNWconn/x25/snmp directory to the SNM Agent directory.

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

Use the build_oid command to rebuild the SNM OID database.

Refer to the Solstice Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Administration Guide for more information about this process.
