Agent Properties File Format

To edit the agent properties file, you require root access to the system running Solaris Bandwidth Manager. The file is called agent.properties, and is located in the /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ba directory. The parameters it contains are:

• login--An authentication login name for batool and Java clients. If no login is configured, users have read-only access.

• password--An authentication password.

• agentPort--Port number for the agent. The default value is 6969, but it can be overridden here to avoid conflicts with other products.

• dirPort--Port number for the LDAP replication slave. The default value is 389.

• lightweight --This can be one of true or false. With lightweight mode enabled, the policy agent is started in a special resource-saving mode. In this mode, all the features of the policy agent such as connection from the tool, restart operations, and SNMP monitoring are disabled, except the transmission of NetFlow packets. By default, lightweight mode is disabled.

• netFlowHost--Specifies the host to which flow accounting information will be sent using the NetFlow protocol . By default, NetFlow packets are not sent. The NetFlow host can be specified as a hostname or an IP address in decimal dot notation.

• netFlowPort--Specifies the UDP port number to which NetFlow packets will be sent. This is used only if netFlowHost is specified. The default value is 9991.
