Chapter 2
Configuring the RAC for SNMP
Before an SNMP network management application can monitor or manage the
RAC, the RAC must be configured for SNMP. This entails defining certain
configuration data, including the SNMP agent, the SNMP community string, and
related RAC parameters. This chapter describes how to configure the RAC for
SNMP in the following sections:
• Configuring the SNMP Agent
• Defining the Community String
• Defining Trap Hosts and Traps
• Defining the Contact String
• Defining the Location String
• Defining the disabled_modules Parameter
• Defining the allow_snmp_sets Parameter
• Configuring BootP Relay
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Entries in the gateway section of the configuration file, which is downloaded
during RAC initialization, both enable the SNMP agent and define the operating
characteristics of the SNMP daemon that controls the SNMP agent.
The gateway section of the configuration file contains four optional keywords for
configuring the RAC SNMP agent:
• community
• traphost
• contact
• location
