3.9 Put SNMP Changes into Effect
To have changes to /etc/snmpd.conf take effect, kill snmpd. It will be automatically restarted.
Log in as root, find the snmpd PID (process ID), and then kill the SNMP daemon, as follows:
#ps
326 00- S 0:00.17 snmpd /etc/snmpd.conf /var/run/snmpd.NOV
#kill 326
#Jun 13 16:13:18 grf16 mib2d[397]: mib2d: terminated by master agent
Jun 13 16:13:18 grf16 root: grstart: snmpd exited status 143; restarting.
Jun 13 16:13:18 grf16 root: grstart: mib2d exited status 0; restarting.

3.10 Step 2. Assign IP Addresses
Assign an IP address and other parameters to the SP Switch Router Adapter interface. As already mentioned, there are two ways to accomplish this task (one recommended, one optional).
3.10.1 Method 1: Use SP SNMP Manager - Recommended
This is the method recommended for configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter card. From a system point of view, it is appropriate to treat the SP Switch Router Adapter card as an extension node in the SP system. All configuration parameters should be entered using the SMIT panels. Remember that if you enter configuration information into SP Switch Router configuration files, you will also need to access the SMIT panels and reenter information those panels require.
Refer specifically to the "Managing Extension Nodes" chapter in the RS/6000 SP: Administration Guide Version 2 Release 4,
Following are the SMIT commands along with the data entered for the GRF 1600 in our lab environment. Refer to Appendix A, “Laboratory Hardware and Software Configuration” on page 233 for detailed information about our setup.
