Accessing the MIB of the Managed Node

To grant ITO access to the MIB of the managed node, you must ensure
that the get-community-name is set in one of the following ways:

❏ Edit the

opcinfo

file on the managed node (see Table 10-3 on page

399 for the location of the

opcinfo

file on all platforms), and add the

following line:

SNMP_COMMUNITY <

community

>

where <community> is the community for which the

snmpd

is

configured.

If

SNMP_COMMUNITY

is not set, the default community

public

is

used. If it is set, the specified community name is used for snmp-get
operations and should match one of the get-community strings in the

snmpd

configuration file.

❏ Or edit the configuration file for the SNMP daemon:

on HP-UX 10.x and 11.x managed nodes:

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

get-community-name

: enter the community name for the SNMP

agent. More than one community name can be specified by adding a
line for each community name. This can be set to one of the following:

• When left empty:

The SNMP agent responds to get requests using any community
name.

• If a community name is entered, the SNMP agent only responds to

get requests using this community name, for example:

get-community-name: secret

get-community-name: public

ITO requires this access for:

❏ monitoring MIB effectively

❏ the automatic resolution of node attributes when you configure a new

node in ITO.

For more details, see the related

snmpd

man page. For HP-UX, see the

HP OpenView SNMP Agent Administrator’s Guide.
