Accessing PRM’s SNMP data

You can access SNMP information through a command-line interface, known as snmpwalk, and through a graphical user interface called xnmbrowser. Using these utilities is described below.

Using OpenView’s snmpwalk

NOTE: Secure sites may want to disable prmagt to avoid unwanted information exchange. If prmagt is to be used, it is strongly recommended that it be used only on a trusted internal network protected by firewalls and access controls, due to known issues with the SNMP protocol.

To use snmpwalk to view the PRM data:
