Kpp_AGT_COMM_PROTOCOLn

Edit online

This parameter specifies the communication protocol for the connection between the monitoring agent and the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

Description

This parameter specifies the communication protocol to be supported by the monitoring agent, where n corresponds to a number between 1 and 7 to indicate the priority sequence for the communication protocols.

When communicating with the monitoring server, the agent first tries protocol 1, and then, in the case of failure, tries protocol 2 and so on.

The following IP-related protocols are available:
  • IP.PIPE (IPPIPE): Non-secure TCP over IPv4
  • IP.UDP (IP): Non-secure UDP over IPv4
  • IP6.PIPE (IP6PIPE): Non-secure TCP over IPv6
  • IP6.UDP (IP6): Non-secure UDP over IPv6
  • IP.SPIPE (IPSPIPE): Secure (SSL/TLS) TCP over IPv4
  • IP6.SPIPE (IP6SPIPE): Secure (SSL/TLS) TCP over IPv6
The following SNA protocol is available:
  • SNA.PIPE (SNA): Systems Network Architecture (SNA) implementation of the Network Computing System (NCS) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API
Default value
Kpp_AGT_COMM_PROTOCOL1: IPPIPE
Kpp_AGT_COMM_PROTOCOL2: SNA
Kpp_AGT_COMM_PROTOCOL3 - KDS_TEMS_COMM_PROTOCOL7: empty (no value)
Permissible values
IPPIPE, IP, IP6PIPE, IP6, IPSPIPE, IP6SPIPE, SNA
