Syntax
snmpv3_ssw [ -e | -n | -1 ]
Description
Switch the symbolic links among
the non-encrypted snmpdv3 agent, encrypted snmpdv3 agent and snmpdv1
agent, and then start the newly chosen SNMP agent. A user can choose
which version of SNMP agent to run.
For example, the if current
running SNMP agent is the encrypted
snmpdv3 agent, the actual
SNMP agent executable which is running on the machine is "
/usr/sbin/snmpdv3e".
The symbolic links on the machine are:
- /usr/sbin/snmpd --> /usr/sbin/snmpdv3e
- /usr/sbin/clsnmp --> /usr/sbin/clsnmpe
If a user chooses to switch to the non-encrypted snmpdv3
agent, after user runs the
/usr/sbin/snmpv3_ssw command with
the
-n option, the actual snmp agent which is running on the
machine "
/usr/sbin/snmpdv3ne". The symbolic links on the machine
will be changed to:
- /usr/sbin/snmpd --> /usr/sbin/snmpdv3ne
- /usr/sbin/clsnmp --> /usr/sbin/clsnmpne
