1 /ADDRESS
/ADDRESS=(IP_address)
/NOADDRESS=(IP_address)
Optional. Default: 0.0.0.0
Specifies hosts that belong to a particular community. You can
specify multiple addresses.
This qualifier is meaningful only if you include the /COMMUNITY
qualifier. A remote host cannot access information from this
host unless its address appears in one or more communities
of type READ or WRITE. For communities of type TRAP, the
addresses specify the hosts that receive trap messages. For more
information, see the /TYPE qualifier.
If you add a new community and do not specify this qualifier, the
new entry's address is 0.0.0.0.
If you use the /ADDRESS qualifier with a community that already
exists, these addresses are added to the existing address list.
/NOADDRESS deletes addresses from an existing list. If the
deleted address is the only address listed for the community
name, this qualifier also deletes the community.
2 /COMMUNITY
/COMMUNITY="name"
/NOCOMMUNITY="name"
Optional. Default: To enable the standard "public" community, you
can run the TCPIP$CONFIG procedure.
Used with the /ADDRESS qualifier. Name of the community that the
SNMP agent recognizes. Optionally, specify a type of access and
a list of host addresses. Enclose the name in quotation marks
to preserve lowercase characters. See the /TYPE and /ADDRESS
qualifiers for more information.
[NO]COMMUNITY="name" removes a community name.
3 /CONFIRM
/CONFIRM
/NOCONFIRM
Optional. Default: /CONFIRM with if you use a wildcard;
otherwise, /NOCONFIRM
When you delete communities (with the /NOCOMMUNITY qualifier),
first asks for your confirmation.
If you specify the /NOCONFIRM qualifier, the operation is
performed without asking you to confirm the request.
4 /CONTACT
/CONTACT=name
Optional. Default: None.
Name of the system administrator (or other contact person) of the
host on which the SNMP agent runs. The name field has a maximum
length of 235.
5 /FLAGS
/FLAGS=options
Optional.
The options include:
o SETS
Lets the master agent process SET commands from SNMP clients.
o AUTHEN_TRAPS
Lets the master agent send trap messages in response to
unauthorized community strings from SNMP clients.
6 /LOCATION
/LOCATION=options
Optional. Default: None.
Location of the system on which the SNMP agent runs. Maximum
total length is 215 characters.
The options include:
o [NO]FIRST=text
Specifies the first part of the location. Maximum length of
text is 200 characters.
o [NO]SECOND=text
Specifies the last part of the location. Maximum length of
text is 200 characters.
If you specify two options, they are appended when sent to a
client in response to an SNMP request for syslocation. For
example, if FIRST is abc and SECOND is def, the value of the
location is abcdef with no spaces. The total number of characters
must not exceed 215.
7 /TYPE
/TYPE= {[NO]READ | [NO]TRAP | [NO]WRITE}
Optional. Default: READ.
Sets the type of access (to your local MIB data) to allow for a
specified community.
o Type READ allows the master agent to accept GET, GETNEXT, and
GETBULK commands from clients (management stations).
o Type TRAP allows the local master agent to issue traps
to members of a specified community. Members of a trap
community receive SNMP Trap-PDUs for significant events,
including coldStart traps when the agent is initialized, and
authenticationFailure traps when the agent receives an SNMP
request that specifies an unauthorized community string.
o Type WRITE allows the master agent to accept SET commands from
clients (management stations).
READ access is present by default when specifying TRAP or WRITE.
Also, you can remove the read access without affecting the way
the agent responds to a read request. For example:
$ SET CONFIGURATION SNMP /COMMUNITY="name" /TYPE=NOREAD
