APPN Network Management Using the Simple Network Management Protocol
SNAplus2 APPN SNMP Subagent
SNAplus2 APPN SNMP Subagent
SNAplus2 implements an SNMP subagent to provide support for the
APPN MIB defined in RFC 1593. The subagent uses the services of the
SNMPD daemon, which communicates with a management application
using TCP/IP. The subagent supports receiving SNMP Get requests for a
subset of the objects contained in the APPN MIB.
The subagent does not support every object in the APPN MIB.
Specifically, the APPN SNMP subagent does not support receiving
SNMP Set requests or sending traps to the SNMP manager. A list of
supported objects is included in “APPN Management Information Base
(MIB)”.
The subagent requires that the SNMPD subsystem be configured and
started in order to support APPN network management requests. The
subagent, when started, registers the objects it supports with the
SNMPD daemon. If SNMPD is not already running when the subagent is
started, the subagent polls for SNMPD. When the subagent detects that
SNMPD has been started, it registers its objects with SNMPD. The
SNMPD daemon is normally started automatically by the operating
system.
In a correctly configured system, the following processes should be
running: snasnmp and the SNMPD daemon. The SNMPD subsystem
uses TCP/IP as the network protocol for transporting SNMP requests to
and from the management application.
The SNMP subagent is automatically installed and configured when you
install SNAplus2.
