  NAME

    .snmp_system - SNMP agent system group information for system contact and
    system location

  DESCRIPTION

    The /etc/.snmp_system file contains the SNMP system group information for
    the sysContact and sysLocation object instances as defined by RFC1213,
    "Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based
    Internets:  MIB-II."  The sysContact instance is defined to be the
    "textual identification of the contact person for this managed node."  The
    sysLocation instance is defined to be "the physical location of this
    node".

    On initial installation of the SNMP product, the information for the
    sysContact and sysLocation is extracted from the XNS clearinghouse entry
    for this node.  The Primary User and Phone fields (from the XNS
    clearinghouse entry) define the sysContact, and the Location field defines
    the sysLocation.  No further reference is made to the XNS clearinghouse
    after initial installation.

    The sysContact and sysLocation instances may be changed at any time in the
    private MIB view via the Network Management System (NMS) product or any
    appropriate network management system, or the snmpconfig utility which is
    delivered with the SNMP product.

    The format of the /etc/.snmp_system file is as follows:

       System_Contact:xxxxxxxx
       Location:yyyyyyyy

    The xxxxxxxx parameter is the system contact information and yyyyyyyy is
    the location information.

  EXAMPLES

    The following is an example of a .snmp_system file:

    System_Contact:Roger Smith, 555-3184
    Location:Building 6, Room 42
