6.7 The DMI Mapper Configuration File

The default configuration file snmpXdmid.conf is located in the directory /etc/dmi/conf. You may alternatively provide another path to this program as a command-line option for the location of the snmpXdmid.conf file.

6.7.1 WARNING_TIMESTAMP

snmpXdmid must subscribe to the DMI SP to receive indications. According to DMI 2.0 specifications, this subscription is valid only up to a particular timestamp. The SP issues a warning subscription notice before it ends the subscription. This timestamp indicates the time a subscription warning was issued.

The default value is:

WARNING_TIMESTAMP = 20101231110000.000000-420

6.7.2 EXPIRATION_TIMESTAMP

This indicates the time that a subscription actually expires. No indications are received after this time, unless they are re-subscribed. By default, a future timestamp is chosen so the subscription practically exists forever. This is done so that snmpXdmid always retains its indication subscription with the SP.

The default value is:

EXPIRATION_TIMESTAMP = 250101231120000.000000-420

6.7.3 FAILURE_THRESHOLD

This indicates the number of attempts by DMI SP in order to deliver the indications to snmpXdmid, in case it encounters errors before it drops the indication and clears the subscription entry.

The default value is:

FAILURE_THRESHOLD = 1

6.7.4 TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT

A non-zero value results in snmpXdmid generating an SNMP trap following an indication from the DMI SP. A zero value results in no SNMP trap generation following a DMI SP indication.

The default value is:

TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT = 1
