NAME
nic_agent - Compaq Insight Manager (CIM) Network Interface
Monitor
SYNOPSIS
nic_agent [-p time] [-i] [-s OK | NOTOK] [-t OK | NOTOK]
DESCRIPTION
nic_agent is the network interface information collection
agent under the Compaq Insight Manager (CIM). nic_agent is
responsible for collecting information from network interfaces
(interrupt vector, hardware address, MIB II interface
statistics, etc.) for the CIM MIB registered by cpqsmuxd(1M).
By default, nic_agent is started by init using the script
/etc/rc2.d/S99nic.
nic_agent supports the following options:
-p time specifies the time, in seconds, between
updates of the MIB variables. If not
specified, time defaults to 30 seconds.
-i tells the agent to ignore stop indication
from the cpqsmuxd process. If this
option is not used, when a stop
indication is received from cpqsmuxd,
nic_agent terminates.
-t OK | NOTOK enables or disables the ability to send
SNMP traps. If OK is specified,
nic_agent will issue SNMP traps.
-s OK | NOTOK enables or disables set operations on
this agent's MIB variables. A user at a
management station may attempt to set MIB
variables managed by this agent. If OK
is specified, nic_agent will allow set
operations.
