Note A caveat on the use of the SNMP agent shipped with the Sun MediaCenter server: If you use SNMP to manage the Sun MediaCenter software, you cannot also run an SNMP agent to manage other components of your system (for example, the ATM interface). The SNMP agent reserves port 161, making that port unavailable to other SNMP agents.

The SNMP agent is implemented in a daemon, snmpd, and is installed on the Sun MediaCenter server in the course of running pkgadd to add the SUNWsmsnm package. The package-install script adds a snmpd startup script to /etc/init.d. Beyond running pkgadd, no action is required on your part to install or start snmpd.

A.1 The Sun MediaCenter Server MIB

The Sun MediaCenter Server Management Information Base (MIB) is defined in the file sms_vod.mib, stored by default in /opt/SUNWsms/agents. A MIB contains attributes that collectively describe a network object. sms_vod.mib describes a Sun MediaCenter server. MIB attributes are readable—and in some cases settable—by a program that conforms to the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). All of the attributes in sms_vod.mib are read-only, meaning you cannot use SNMP to change their values.

MIB attributes are categorized by groups and tables. TABLE A-1lists the groups and tables in sms_vod.mib.
