If you have any other 'secondary' NetView servers that get a 'NetView Up'
or 'NetView Down' trap when this one comes up and down..will need their
configs changed with xsnmpconf for this host too.   I have used that in the
past to automate some tasks when NetView goes up and down.

NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3

Is it a big deal to change the SNMP community name on the NetView server?

Just to verify.....I need to make the change in the snmpd.conf and
xnmsnmpconf?

Are there any "gotchas" I need to look out for?

Thanks,
