Chapter3 Managing ITP Networks Using SGM
Configuring SNMP
Step8 (Optional) If you determine that SGM polls a node too often, or not often enough,
you can change the poll interval. To change the time, in minutes, between polls
for a node, select the node and enter the new interval in the Poll Interval (mins)
field. The valid range is 5 to 1440. The default value is 15minutes.
Click Update to apply the new poll interval to the selected node.
Step9 (Optional) To add a new node or range of nodes, enter the SNMP information in
the appropriate fields and click Add. The new SNMP settings are added to the
SGM database.
When you are satisfied with all of your changes to the SNMP settings, select the
File > Save menu option. SGM saves the changes, updates the SNMP information
on the SGM server in real time, and closes the SNMP Configuration Dialog.
Note If another user modifies and saves the SNMP configuration before you
save your changes, SGM asks if you want to overwrite that user’s
changes. If you choose to do so, the other user’s changes are overwritten
and lost. If you choose not to do so, your changes are lost.
For more information about SNMP, refer to “Configuring SNMP Support” in the
Cisco IOS Release 12.2 Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide,
Part 3, Cisco IOS System Management.
SGM also provides the following SNMP-related commands:
•To set a new default SNMP read community name, use the sgm snmpcomm
command.
•To change the file used for SNMP parameters, such as community names,
timeouts, and retries, use the sgm snmpconf command.
•To query a host using SNMP GetRequests, use the sgm snmpget command.
•To query a host using SNMP GetNextRequests, use the sgm snmpnext
command.
•To query a host, using SNMP GetNextRequests to “walk” through the MIB,
use the sgm snmpwalk command.
For more information on the use of these commands, see the “SGM Commands
and Descriptions” section on pageB-2.
