Enable and start SNMP via script.

[Andreas Åhman]

Hi,

I'm wonder if there's a way to enable and start the snmp service without running tcpip$config.

I've tried adding and configuring the service through the tcpip but I just cannot get the service enabled.

Andreas,

if TCPIP$CONFIG can't get SNMP enabled, then who else could be expected to do that ?

You might want to check OPERATOR.LOG and/or the SNMP service logfile SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$SNMP]TCPIP$SNMP_RUN.LOG for errors when trying to enable the SNMP service.

I might have expressed myself a bit unclear.

Everything works fine while using tcpip$config.

It's when Im using tcpip> set, enable etc. that can't enable it.

[Volker Halle]

Andreas,

you would have to read TCPIP$CONFIG.COM to find the commands issued during SNMP configuration.

Ok..

I was kinda worried that I'd have to do that. :)

Got a bit reading to do then.

If you've configured SNMP previously, you should be able to enable/disable it using command line TCPIP.

I managed enabling snmp via a script yesterday.

It involved copying quite a few rows from tcpip$config. Not as straightforward as one might think.

I'm wondering why You have to take out parts of tcpip$config, isn't there
TCPIP$SNMP_SHUTDOWN.COM, and TCPIP$SNMP_STARTUP.COM in sys$startup: ?

[Andreas Åhman]

That's true.

But in order to enable and start snmp there are a few steps that has to be taken.

A user needs to be created, a number of files needs to be extracted. then you need to create the service and enable it.

This is usually called configuration.
You asked for "enable and start".
