You
can change the following parameters in SNMPARMS:
- Parameter
- Description
- SNMPQE name
- The name of the SNMP query engine started procedure. This value
is case sensitive. The default address space name is SNMPQE. If you
change the name of the SNMP query engine started procedure, you must
change this parameter to match the new procedure name.
- SNMPQERT seconds
- The retry timer, in seconds, for IUCV CONNECT. When SNMPIUCV is
started, it tries to connect to the SNMP query engine. If the connection
fails or breaks, SNMPIUCV retries a connect every n seconds,
as specified by this parameter. The valid range of values is 0 - 9999.
The default is 60 seconds.
- SNMPRCNT number
- The retry count for sending SNMP requests. This is the number
of times the SNMP query engine resends an SNMP PDU when no response
was received. If no response is received after all retries have been
exhausted, the SNMP query engine returns a no response error for the
SNMP request. The valid range of values is 0 - 255. The default is
2.
If the request being sent by the SNMP query engine contains
a community name that is not valid, no response is received. This
causes the SNMP query engine to resend the request until the retry
count is exhausted. If authentication failure traps are enabled, the
agent generates multiple authentication-Failure traps,
one for the initial request and one for each of the retries.
- SNMPMMLL length
- The line length for multiline messages 38 and 44. The maximum
length is 255. A value of 80 allows the complete text to appear on
an 80-character-wide screen. The default and minimum acceptable line
length value is 80.
- SNMPRETO exp
- The retry back-off exponent. Specifies whether the timeout value
between retries of an SNMP request is calculated linearly or exponentially.
The valid values are 1 (linear) or 2 (exponential). The default is
2.
For example, if the retry timeout was 1 second, SNMPRETO of
1 causes a new retry to be sent at constant 1-second intervals until
all retries have been sent. SNMPRETO of 2 causes the first retry to
be sent after 1 second, the second retry 2 seconds later, the third
retry 4 seconds later, and so on until all retries have been sent.
- SNMPRITO tenths_seconds
- The timeout value for a request specified in tenths of a second.
After sending an SNMP request to an agent, the SNMP query engine waits
the specified number of tenths of a second for a response.
- If the retry count (SNMPRCNT) is greater than 0, the SNMP request
is sent again if a response is not received in this time.
- If the retry count (SNMPRCNT) is 0, a no response error
is sent to the NetView® program,
if a response is not received within this period of time.
The valid range of values is 0 - 255. The default is 10 tenths
of a second.
