Desktop SNMP Option

desktop snmp

enable monitor community any monitor community “private” enable control community specified control community “private” enable trap community specified trap community “agenttrap”

Desktop SNMP ignores the monitor community “private” line until you reset the enable monitor community line to “specified.” This allows you to temporarily change the value to “any” or “off” without deleting the specific community name.

MIB-II (Management Information Base) Support

Desktop SNMP automatically supports three MIB-II groups:

•System and SNMP groups

•Interface group

•TCP/IP groups (all groups except interface, system, and SNMP, which are supported by other VLM™ files, and EGP and transmission, which are not supported)

System and SNMP Groups

Use these parameters and values to define information that can be retrieved by SNMP management stations or reported in SNMP traps, which are discussed on the indicated pages:

Parameters and Values

SNMPENABLEAUTHENTRAP [on off]
