NAME

ntx_nms − configure an NMS for MVME339 agent authentication

SYNOPSIS

ntx_nms [ −d device ] [ −f file ]
ntx_nms [ −d device ] [ [−r] host ]

DESCRIPTION

Ntx_nms configures NMS authentication for the MVME339 SNMP agent.  The agent will discard SNMP PDUs from any hosts other than the configured NMSs. 

If the agent refuses a PDU because the NMS is not configured, it will generate an authentication failure trap (if the trap is configured). 

If no NMS is configured (no ntx_nms issued) then the agent will accept PDUs from any NMS. 

It is useful to issue ntx_nms before ntx_snmp to configure the NMS authentication before the SNMP agent is started. 

Host is the internet address (or host name) of an NMS. 

If neither host nor file option is specified on the command line, ntx_nms retrieves the NMS configuration from the MVME339 and displays it on the standard output.  The output is the same format as file (given below). 

OPTIONS

−dSet the MVME339 raw device file name.  This option will override the default MVME339 device name of /dev/xedt/mvme338_c0. 

−fRead the NMS configuration from a file and send it to the MVME339.  If file is − read from the standard input.  The file is a list of host names or Internet address, each on a separate line.  Characters to the right of ’#’ on input lines are ignored. 

−rRemove the specified NMS from the authentication list. 

EXAMPLES

Configure the MVME339 SNMP agent to receive PDUs from 192.6.153.6. 

 ntx_nms −r 192.6.153.6
