Help for SNMP View Initial Display
This help page explains the TCP/390 SNMP View function. This function can be used to display the system wide and interface-specific MIB data about a selected SNMP-capable TCP/IP resource. The information that can be requested is separated into two categories: IP resource data and MVS stack data. IP resource data will display the system MIB objects, along with the IFMIB, IPMIB, and TCPConn MIB objects, for any TCP/IP resource which is SNMP enabled. MVS stack data will display the same information, when a more specific enterprise object is not available, as well as enterprise specific MIB objects which describe the MVS TCP/IP stack.
Host Name or IP Address
Enter the hostname or IP address of the TCP/IP resource for which you want to request data, or leave this field blank and use the local TCP/IP MVS stack.
MVS Stack Name or IP Address
These selections are mutually exclusive. Select which type of resource data you want to collect. Select the MVS Stack Name radio button only for MVS TCP/IP stacks to collect the best information about the stack. Selecting the IP address radio button for a stack will return only the basic information about the stack as a resource.
Select a radio button
Only one radio button option may be used at a time. When you select a fast path display, you can access all subordinate displays, for example, you can access details from the interface list display. You will not be able to access higher level displays, for example you will not be able to go to the system display from the interface list display. The following are the four radio button options:
Select this option to view the system data for the selected resource. |
Select this option to display the interface list and skip the system data display for the selected resource. |
Select this option to go directly to the display of interface detail data for a selected interface. You must specify an interface number to use this option. The IP address is optional, but if specified, SNMP View will provide high level TCP connection information. |
Select this option to get a list of TCP Connections for a specified resource. The IP Address is required to use this option. |
Community Name
Enter the read community name (password) for the resource from which you are collecting data. The name entered will not be displayed on the screen. SNMP View will remember the name entered until you leave SNMP View or select another resource.
View Button
Depending on the radio button selection above, click on either the View System Data, View Interface List, View Detail List, or View Connection List button to view information about the MVS stack name or IP address.
