A sample SNMPD.CONF file is shipped as /usr/lpp/tcpip/samples/snmpd.conf.
See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for more information about syntax.
The sample OSNMP.CONF file used by the snmp command
contains entries that match the sample SNMPD.CONF data set. See Configure the z/OS UNIX snmp command for additional
information on configuring the snmp command.
Note: By default, the SNMP agent and the snmp command
send packets such that a VIPA address will be used as the originating
address in the packet, if SOURCEVIPA is configured. This is a change
introduced in V2R10; previously, the SNMP agent and the snmp command
set a socket option to cause the physical interface addresses to be
used as the originating addresses on packets they sent. That meant
the SNMPD.CONF file had to contain all of the possible physical interface
addresses that might be used, rather than a smaller number of VIPA
addresses. A customer can override this change in behavior, if wanted,
by invoking the SNMP agent with the -a option
or by using either the -a option or the
NOSVIPA option in the snmp command's OSNMP.CONF
configuration file.
