Subject:  RE: [NV-L] SNMP Configuration feature



I'm having the problem of when a new SNMP entry is added, it ends up with
the default "discovery" configuration that tries to check up to 800 routes
on the device every 15 minutes.  Not good. My Global Default settings are
limiting the discovery poll to once a day but the new entries show up with
the original NetView defaults. Anybody know a way around that issue?

Thanks,

This was discussed in detail in the last couple of months, so you might
want to review that in the archives. But the upshot, I think, was that if
the
alternate community names file is present in /usr/OV/conf, Netview will
assume that 'public' is in it, and try to use it. If it works, it adds an
entry to
the ovsnmp configuration. I believe some users affirmed that you could
prevent this by removing the file, if you are attempting to prevent
discovery
of nodes by forcing failure of snmp access. The alternate community
names file is a new feature in Netview V6. I, for one, love it.

Hi All:

Our client has, netview 6.0 & AIX 4.3.2.

The NetView is making something that I never have seen
before, when the NV discover a new box that is SNMP
configured with the  public community, NV is feeding
the snmp configuration with the Ip name or Ip adress of
this node.
If I deleted the node entry in the SNMP configuration,
the entry reappear.
no one comunity is defined in NV as public even global
default.

Is this behavior normal ?
There is any way to deactite this feature ?


Thanks in advance,

Sergio.
