Starting the SNMP Master Agent
Once you have installed the SNMP master agent, you can start it manually or by
using the Administration Server.
Manually Starting the SNMP Master Agent
To start the master agent manually, enter the following at the command prompt:
# magt CONFIG INIT&
The
INIT
file is a nonvolatile file that contains information from the MIB-II system
group, including system location and contact information. If
INIT
doesn’t already
exist, starting the master agent for the first time will create it. An invalid manager
name in the
CONFIG
file will cause the master agent start-up to fail.
To start a master agent on a nonstandard port, use one of two methods:
Method one:
In the
CONFIG
file, specify a transport mapping for each interface over
which the master agent listens for SNMP requests from managers. Transport
mappings allow the master agent to accept connections at the standard port and at
a nonstandard port. The master agent can also accept SNMP traffic at a
nonstandard port. The maximum number of concurrent SNMP is limited by your
target system’s limits on the number of open sockets or file descriptors per process.
Here is an example of a transport mapping entry:
TRANSPORT extraordinary
SNMP
OVER UDP SOCKET
AT PORT 11161
After editing the
CONFIG
file manually, you should start the master agent manually
by typing the following at the command prompt:
# magt CONFIG INIT&
Method two:
Edit the
/etc/services
file to allow the master agent to accept
connections at the standard port as well as a nonstandard port.
