  NAME

    snmpconfig - Configures operational parameters for the SNMP agent

  SYNOPSIS

    /usr/bin/snmpconfig

  DESCRIPTION

    The snmpconfig utility is an FMLI forms based interface that is used to
    manually configure the operational parameters of the SNMP agent.

    The snmpconfig utility allows the user to modify operational parameters
    for the SNMP agent.  If the agent is executing when changes are made via
    this utility, the agent is notified and the changes take effect
    immediately.  If the agent is not executing, those changes will take
    effect the next time the agent is started.

    Four agent configuration options are presented when the snmpconfig utility
    is entered:

    Startup Configuration - configure agent startup at system boot
    Community String Information - modify agent community string
    System Group Information - modify system contact and location
    Trap Configuration - configure traps and manager system

    The Startup Configuration utility allows the user to select the option to
    start the agent at system boot or when the system enters the multiuser
    mode.  The CHOICES key toggles between "yes", start the SNMP agent at
    system boot, and "no", start the SNMP agent when the system enters
    multiuser mode.  The user may key-in "yes" or "no" to select the agent
    startup configuration.  The SAVE key updates the agent's configuration,
    and the CANCEL key exits the form without saving any information.

    The Community String Information utility allows the user to modify the
    agent's private MIB view community string.  The private MIB view contains
    certain read-write variables which may affect the operation of the agent
    or system.  The user is required to enter the private MIB view community
    string twice, and this value must match both times.  The user may opt to
    disable the private community by entering a <CR> both times the community
    string is requested.  This action enters a NULL private community string
    and prohibits any access to the private MIB view.  The user must
    reconfigure the private MIB view community string with the snmpconfig
    utility any time a NULL community string is entered before any access is
    allowed.  The user may enter a control-C to cancel the Community String
    Information utility.  The community string is not echoed when as it is
    typed, and the string is restricted to eight characters via this utility.
    The user is encouraged to protect this private community string from
    public disclosure.

    The System Group Information utility allows the user to modify the
    sysContact and sysLocation object instances of the system group as defined
    in RFC1213, "Management Information Base for Network Management of
    TCP/IP-base Internets:  MIB-II."  The sysContact instance is defined to be
    the textual identification of the contact person for this managed node,
    together with information on how to contact this person.  To modify the
    sysContact instance, the user fills in the System Contact field on the
    form.  The sysLocation is defined to be the physical location of this
    node. To modify the sysLocation, the user fills in the Location field on
    the form.  The SAVE key updates the agent's system group configuration,
    and the CANCEL key exits the form without saving any information.

    The Trap Configuration utility allows the user to modify the trap manager
    address and the individual trap configurations.  The Trap Manager Address
    field defines the address of the network management system to which the
    SNMP agent sends its traps.  This address may be an Internet address in
    the dot notation, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, a valid hostname listed in /etc/hosts,
    or a valid domain name recognized by Domain Name System (DNS).  The user
    may configure the SNMP agent to not deliver any traps by entering an
    address of "0" in this field.  The value of zero overrides any individual
    trap congifuration entered.  Individual trap delivery configuration is
    accomplished by toggling "yes" or "no" in the six trap fields with the
    CHOICES key.  The user may key-in "yes" or "no" to select individual trap
    configuration.  The SAVE key updates the agent's trap configuration, and
    the CANCEL key exits the form without saving any information.

    Help is available in the snmpconfig utility anytime the HELP key is
    visible.

    To exit the snmpconfig utility, select the Exit option from the SNMP Agent
    Configuration menu, or select the EXIT key.
