HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 110)

To change the default globally so that it affects the next file entry and all subsequent entries, use a statement
similar to the following example. The default is changed to router for the next entry. Router remains the
default for all entries until another #$IMXE_DEFAULT statement changes the value. If a single instance of
TYPE is changed by a #$IMXE statement, the default is not used for only the next entry and then reverts to
router.

NOTE: If a keyword parameter is omitted on a commented entry, the current default value is used. The
current default is always the standard default unless a new default value was set using the #$IMXE_DEFAULT
statement. For a keyword that contains more than one word, such as "management processor," enclose the
full keyword in double quotation marks. Quotation marks are optional for single keywords like "server."
The following text quoted from a hosts file illustrates several statements. The explanations, which begin with
the pound sign (#), are not displayed in the hosts file.

The system EngProliant uses all current defaults. There are no
additional comments.

The system testServer in the following example defaults for TYPE.
The defaults for SNMP Timeouts and Retries were
restored for this system but only apply to testServer. The SNMP
write community string default was changed and only applies
to testServer.
#$IMXE: TYPE=Server
#$IMXE: SNMP_TIM=0 SNMP_RET=0 SNMP_MON=public
SNMP_CON=private

All defaults in the following example for the system BldRtr1 are
the same as for testServer, but had to be specified because
they are not the global defaults. These changes apply only to
BldRtr1.
#$IMXE: TYPE=Router
#$IMXE: SNMP_TIM=0 SNMP_RET=0 SNMP_MON=public
SNMP_CON=private

For the system BldRtr5, the TYPE and protocols used for discovery
were changed from the current defaults. Because the remaining
keyword entries are missing, the standard defaults
are applied for the SNMP timeouts, retries, and community strings.
#$IMXE: TYPE=Router
