Re: SNMP & 7.3

Hi

STRTCPSVR SERVER(*SNMP)  will start the server if it is not running.

You should be able to see the port open and listening using NETSTAT option
3 (my notes tell me WRKTCPSTS OPTION(*CNN) will get this display). On V7R1
you should see a state of *UDP on the snmp port (161)

The jobs on V7R1 areQTMSNMPRCV and QTMSNMP; don;t know if they have changed
them for V7R3

There were changes at V7R3 that might be relevent; from the V7R2 memo to
users:

"In 7.2, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server is enforcing
stricter compliance to the SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) protocol. The SNMP
server will not start if the SNMP attributes have been configured to allow
SNMPv3 and a non-RFC compliant SNMP Engine ID is specified by the SNMP
attributes. The QTMSNMP job will log message TCP403B (Local SNMP engine ID
not valid. Reason code &1.) and then end. If SNMPv3 is not enabled the
messageTCP403B will still be logged, however, the QTMSNMP job will not end.
To set a valid SNMPv3 Engine ID, run the following command: CHGSNMPA
SNMPENGID(*SYSGEN)"
