161SNMP Management and Monitoring 17The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) feature allows a restorer to respond to a set ofSNMP “get” operations from a remote machine. From an SNMP perspective, a restorer is aread-only device with the following exceptions: A remote machine can set the SNMP location,contact, and system name on a restorer. To configure community strings, hosts, and other SNMPvariables on the restorer, use the snmp command. With one or more trap hosts defined, a restorertakes the additional action of sending alerts messages as SNMP traps, even when the SNMP agentis disabled.Note The SNMP sysLocation and sysContact variables are not the same as those set with theconfig set location and config set admin-email commands. However, ifthe SNMP variables are not set with the SNMP commands, the variables default to thesystem values given with the config set commands.Enable SNMPTo enable the SNMP agent on a restorer, use the snmp enable operation.
