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, tabs, and so on must be 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

987 East Cannon RoadMountain View, CA 94043 USA" INITIAL sysContact "Jill Dawson email: jdawson@example.com"
