PATROL SNMP design

The PATROL SNMP architecture is based on the industry standard known as SMUX. One or more SNMP subagents can connect to a single SNMP Master Agent by using a TCP SMUX port (TCP port 199 by default).

The PATROL SNMP subagent can use the OS distributed SMUX SNMP Master Agent to communicate.

The BMC PATROL Agent SNMP Object Identifier is: enterprises.1031.1.1

The PATROL Agent has built-in functionality to allow it to act as an SNMP manager and as an SNMP Agent functioning as a SMUX-based SNMP subagent. In order for PATROL SNMP to be functional, an SMUX compliant SNMP Master Agent or the BMC provided PATROL "snmpmagt" must be configured and running.

The SMUX based SNMP subagent can use any SMUX compliant SNMP Master Agent as its master agent instead of the BMC provided PATROL "snmpmagt".

The PATROL SMUX based SNMP subagent is not compatible with SNMP Master Agents that are not built upon SMUX technology.

Warning

Note

The PATROL Agent does not support SNMP v2 and v3 traps.
