HP Routing Services -UX 11i v2 Accessing the OSPF MIB

Conﬁguring gated

Conﬁguring the OSPF Protocol

The routing table on node A contains routes to 193.2.1.32 and 193.2.1.16. The routing table on node C in the stub area contains routes only to LAN 1 and a default router.

Accessing the OSPF MIB

HP’s gated also provides ospfagt, an OSPF Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP) subagent that supports the OSPF MIB (Management Information Base) (see RFC 1253). The ospfagt subagent works with the HP SNMP Agent, snmpdm. If you use an SNMP manager utility to manage your network, such as HP’s OpenView Network Node Manager, you can also use HP’s OSPF SNMP subagent.

To start ospfagt automatically during system bootup, set the environment variable OSPFMIB to 1 in the ﬁle /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons.

To manually start ospfagt, type the following command at the command prompt:

/usr/sbin/ospfagt

gated must be running before ospfagt is started. Both gated and ospfagt must be running to retrieve OSPF MIB objects.

To load the OSPF MIB, select Load/Unload SNMP:MIBS ... from the

Options menu of OpenView.
