406.0. "SNMP AM for X1.1 ?" by OSLACT::BJORN (Once again) Sun Oct 14 1990 07:22

    Is there a kit for SNMP AM to be layered on top of MCCBMSX011 ??
    We are two people testing DECmcc on VMS and on Ultrix and we want to be
    able to exchange information between them.

	See note 386 for the location of the latest SNMP kit.  This is
	compatible with DECmcc BMS/Director 1.0 and beyond.

	Remember, if you install DECmcc 1.1 over an existing system with
	1.0 AND the SNMP AM, you will have to re-install the SNMP AM.

406.2Installation Guide for SNMP AM?OSLACT::BJORNOnce againTue Oct 16 1990 09:304
    Where do I find the INSTALLATION GUIDE for TCPIP_SNMP ? It's referred
    to in Release Notes.

	Chapter 5 of the installation guide/getting started DECmcc manual
	is called "Installing Asynchronous Management Modules" or something
	close to that.  It is a generic guide to installing modules on top
	of the Director/BMS, covering dictionary, parse table, help file 
	updates.

	That's what the release notes are pointing to.  I'm not sure where
	the DECmcc doc is on line, but I think there's a note or two about it.

	Regards,

406.4REGISTER SNMP, No response from entityOSLACT::BJORNOnce againTue Oct 16 1990 11:4229
    I've installed VMS Ultrix Connection V1.3 and the SNMP AM. After that
    I did DNS> CREATE DIRECTORY .MCC_IP
    
    Now, I'm trying to register a SNMP host like this,
    
    MCC> REGISTER SNMP OSLCSO
    
    I got an error message saying 
    
    	SNMP oslcso
    	AT 16-OCT-1990 15:28:53
    	
    
    	The requested operation cannot be completed
    	                      MCC Service Error = No response from entity.
    
    
    OSLCSO is registered in the host file with lowercase and uppercase, it
    is in the same IP NETWORK. When I installed UCX I gave my VAXstation
    the address 16.181.192.122 and called it NWOMCC with alias=nwomcc.
    I entered oslcso with address 16.181.192.59 alias=OSLCSO. I alse did
    UCX> LOOP OSLCSO and everything went O.K. I can also do a TELNET OSLCSO
    without any problems getting into it. 
    
    What is the REGISTER command trying to do?
    
    I need help

	It's calling the AM with a "show snmp osclo all id".

	As documented in the Use book, the exception you are seeing means

		1.  the target system has no SNMP agent running
		2.  the system has an agent, but won't accept SNMP packets
		     from your IP address with the community name of "public".

406.6SNMP AM access to agentsOSLACT::BJORNOnce againTue Oct 16 1990 17:529
    Thank you very much. I'll check it out tomorrow with my SNMP "guru". He
    is running the SNMP-based DECmcc for Ultrix, but I don't know if he set
    up any check on my IP-address. He is using "public" community name.
    
    Do SNMP AM include an SNMP agent? Is it possible from DECmcc SNMP to
    "show" information from DECmcc Director?

406.7some info, not SNMPMKNME::DANIELEWed Oct 17 1990 10:2131
>    Do SNMP AM include an SNMP agent? 
 
	No, DECmcc Director contains no agents.  

> Is it possible from DECmcc SNMP to "show" information from DECmcc Director?
    
	You can't get any information through the management protocols
	like SNMP or CMIP, from the director.  However, each management module
	DOES have an interface for its own management information.  For 
	example,

MCC> show mcc 0 tcpip_am all attributes
MCC 0 TCPIP_AM                                                   
ALL ATTRIBUTES                                                   
AT 17-OCT-1990 09:16:24                                          
                                                                 
                                                                 
               Component Identification = "DECmcc TCP/IP SNMP AM"
                      Component Version = V1.0.0                 
                      SNMP Optimization = True                   
                            UDP Retries = 2                      
                            UDP Timeout = 5                      

	show you the operational characteristics of the TCP/IP SNMP 
	access module.

	I'm not sure if I've answered your question.  There is currently no
	SNMP agent running on VMS that I know of, although ( at least ) 1 is
	planned.

406.8UCX and SNMP agentOSLACT::BJORNOnce againWed Oct 17 1990 16:017
    Thank you,
    
    I got the answers I needed, I also figured it out when reading more.
    I guess UCX is the one you were pointing to, right?
