Scott,
Add these two lines to your
/etc/snmpd.conf file.
The ATM sub agent seems to get
installed by default, but not configured properly.
I
tried to un-configure it but it seemed to be more trouble than it was
worth.
I just added these two lines and snmp was
happy...
snmpd smuxtimeout=200 #muxatmd
smux
1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.3.1.1 muxatmd_password #muxatmd

[nv-l] Authentication Trap Failures from Localhost
NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3
I am working on some AIX 5.2 nodes trying to get a "golden"
SNMP
configuration. I have performed some tests and I
have one thing holding me
back. I am getting a LOT of
Authentication Failure traps coming into my
NetView
server from these "test" AIX machines. I set up packet sniffing on
one of the machines for the SNMP protocols and I see that
there are attempts
to "talk" to the SNMP agent using
the "public" community name from the lo0
localhost
interface. Our community name for readOnly is not "public". I have
looked at the snmpd.log and it looks like before these
Authentication
Failure traps are sent there is some
SMUX activity. Is there a configuration
for SMUX where
the community name needs to be set?
Here is a sample of the packet where the "public" community
name is used:
====( 71 bytes transmitted on interface lo0 )====
