Control of the HP SNMP/XL subsystem is provided
through a User Defined Command (UDC) and a set of MPE/iX command
files that invoke the SNMPUTIL program. The SNMPCONTROL UDC file (SNMPUDC)
and command files are located in the NET group of the SYS account.
The SNMPUTIL is responsible for creating the SNMP process
on startup and sending a shutdown message to the stack process,
in order to start and stop the SNMP stack. It also can be used to
generate SNMP requests, format responses back to the user, and generate
SNMP traps.
It is necessary to have NM capability in order to use either
the command line interface or the SNMPCONTROL command. When the command line interface is used, the
SNMPUTIL process is responsible for outputting the input/output
packets.
This chapter consists of the following major topics:
