Set Up the SNMP Agent

Note: Do not perform this task if OSNMPD is already configured.

To set up the SNMP agent

Configure the SNMP agent (OSNMPD) by following the instructions in the IBM Communications Server IP Configuration Guide.
Locate the PW.SRC data set in the OSNMPD started task JCL. This data set can be:
- A z/OS data set, for example:
```
//SYSPWSRC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TCPIP.DATA(PWSRC)
```
- A z/OS UNIX file, for example:
```
/etc/pw.src
```
In the PW.SRC data set, configure a community name for use by the local host IP address.
Important! Community names are case sensitive. The default community name is public in lowercase.

For example, with multiple IP addresses, if the Communications Server has the IP addresses 192.168.8.1 and 192.168.1.2, your PW.SRC data set could contain something like the following:
```
public 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
```
With a single IP address, if Communications Server has the IP address 192.168.0.1, your PW.SRC data set could contain something like the following:
```
public 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255
```
It is not necessary to activate the SNMP Query Engine (SNMPQE) because the functions it performs are done internally by your product.
Locate the PROFILE data set.
Set up the TCP/IP subagent in the PROFILE data set by following the instructions in the IBM Communications Server IP Configuration Guide, for example:
```
SACONFIG COMMUNITY public AGENT 161 ENABLED
```
Activate the SNMP agent (OSNMPD) by following the instructions in the IBM Communications Server IP Configuration Guide.
