Integration of CentricStor V3.1 in SNMP Appendix
12.1.2 Activating SNMP on CentricStor
12.1.2.1 Configuring SNMP under CentricStor
The CentricStor system’s VLP establishes the connection to the outside world. Conse-
quently SNMP only needs to be configured on this processor. If a standby VLP exists
(VLP1), SNMP configuration must also be performed on this processor.
To configure SNMP the system administrator logs on to the VLP under “root” and calls
sysadm. The SNMP configuration menu is opened under sinix_2000 -> snmp. After SINIX-
2000 has been installed the SNMP agent does run, but no replies from any Management
Stations are responded to (owing to the preset value public 0.0.0.0 NONE). For
configuration you must select the menu item config. Under location you enter the
contact address for any problems, with the name and telephone number and the location of
the system.
The community name of the SNMP network and the IP address of the SNMP Management
Station are stored under communities and add. The only privilege required is READ. The
default Management Station with the public 0.0.0.0 NONE data should be deleted using
the delete function. If the entry is not deleted, a relic without any meaning remains. Failing
to delete the entry has no effect on the performance or functionality.
The next function you must call is traps, and under this add. Once again you must enter
the Management Station’s community name and IP address. The number of SNMP
Management Stations is not restricted.
12.1.2.2 Activating the configuration
If you do nothing more, the changes made will only become fully effective when the VLP is
rebooted again. However, you can activate these immediately by calling the update item.
The changes then take effect immediately.
12.1.2.3 Changes in central files
This item is no longer relevant. As of CentricStor V3.0 no central system files such as
/etc/hosts, /etc/default/inet or /.rhosts are modified for SNMP operation. The
changes made in the /etc/hosts file are undone automatically when the system is started
up.
