There are several SNMP subagents shipped with z/OS® Communications Server:
- The TCP/IP subagent reports information about the TCP/IP stack.
For details on configuring this subagent, see TCP/IP subagent configuration.
- The OMPROUTE subagent reports information specific to OSPF. The
ROUTESA_CONFIG statement is used in the OMPROUTE configuration file
to configure the OMPROUTE subagent. For details on ROUTESA_CONFIG,
see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference.
- The Network SLAPM2 subagent reports information about defined
policies and performance statistics related to traffic using those
policies. For configuration information about the Network SLAPM2 subagent,
see Quality of service.
- The TN3270E Telnet subagent reports information about TN3270E
Telnet server connections and monitoring values. For information on
the TNSACONFIG statement and the parameters needed to start the TN3270E
Telnet subagent, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference.
- The OSA-Express Direct SNMP subagent is also shipped with z/OS CS but is supported by the System z® OSA
Support Group. The OSA-Express Direct SNMP subagent and the OSA MIB
provided by the System
z OSA
Support Group can be used with Communications Server SNMP support
to provide SNMP management data for some OSA adapters. For details
regarding the OSA-Express Direct SNMP subagent and OSA MIB, see zEnterprise System and System z10 OSA-Express
Customer's Guide and Reference.
These subagents use the stack's IPv4 primary interface IP address
when connecting to the SNMP agent. The IPv4 primary interface IP address
is either the first IPv4 IP address specified in the HOME profile
statement, or the IP address of the IPv4 interface specified on a
PRIMARYINTERFACE profile statement. If the subagents cannot obtain
the IPv4 primary interface IP address, they will use the IPv4 loopback
IP address, 127.0.0.1, to connect to the agent. For information on
using the IPv4 primary interface IP address and a community name to
permit the subagents to connect to the SNMP agent, see Provide community name information or Provide community-based and user-based security and notification destination information.
