2052.0. "SNMP AM w/out DNS?" by MAIL::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Wed Jan 08 1992 17:42

I'm running version 1.2 EFT and having trouble registering and accessing 
SNMP entities.

One thing that I noted in the SNMP user guide on the registration process
is a note that says that the DNS directory .mcc_ip must be created before
registering any snmp entities.  However, I'm not running DNS, I'm using a 
local namespace.

Is there a comparable directory that must be set up using a local namespace?

Could this be the source of my problems accessing the SNMP entities?

2052.1	Give this a try...	BSYBEE::EGOLF	John C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874	`Wed Jan 08 1992 19:17`	6
	Try this: MCC> REGISTER SNMP foobar SYN foobar.lkg.dec.com Note that, in this example, foobar.lkg.dec.com must be in the UCX database and IS case sensitive, by design.
2052.2	Please post error message	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development	`Thu Jan 09 1992 06:59`	3
	And if the answer in .1 doesn't help, please post the error message you receive. BTW, are you running VMS, or ULTRIX?

2052.4	Got It Fixed	MAIL::CLAYTON	Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217	`Thu Jan 09 1992 16:59`	14
	It appears to be working now, but I'm not sure what was wrong. I did have the host name registered in the UCX$HOST file, but I registered it in lower case. I went in to UCX and deleted the specified host, then added back with a lower case name, and upper case alias. I then deleted the entity from MCC and added it back with an uppercase entity name and lower case synonym, and that seemed to work. So I'm not sure what resolved the problem. The SNMP documentation should be more explicit relative to case sensitivity, with specific examples.
2052.5	V1.2 page reference, please.	TNPUBS::CAHALAN	Jack, TAN Pubs, LKG2-2/T2, 226-5710	`Tue Jan 14 1992 07:30`	14

Merlin, That .mcc_ip reference was supposed to have been deleted from the V1.2 manual. Are you sure you have the V1.2 manual? If so, please let me know what page that reference is on. Regarding case sensitvity in UCX, p. A-2 states that the name paramater defaults to uppercase unless you use quotation marks or the /ALIAS qualifier. Jack
2052.6	Old Documentation	MAIL::CLAYTON	Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217	`Tue Jan 14 1992 11:14`	13
	re: -1 You're right. I had the previous version of the SNMP V1.1 User guide. After copying and printing the most current version of the Use guide, I see that the "NOTE" reference has been removed, and the reference to the DNS directory .mcc_ip is no longer there. Thamks for the info. Merlin
