SNMP Command Line Utilities

SystemEDGE command line utilities can communicate using SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. Utilities can work in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. These utilities reside in the bin sub-directory of the SystemEDGE installation directory.

All SNMP utilities accept SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 parameters while retaining their old usage. The new usage format is strongly encouraged, because the old usage format will not be supported in the future. Any automated scripts or programs using the old argument format should be updated to the new usage format.

The following SNMP command line utilities are described in this section:

• diagsysedge
• edgemon
• edgewatch
• emphistory
• se_enc
• sendtrap
• snmpget
• snmpset
• sysvariable
• walktree
• edgetrapmon

The information passed by these utilities should match the information stored in the agent's configuration files. Utilities (except for edgetrapmon) provided in the SystemEDGE distribution do not use any configuration files for their operation.

The agent's SNMPv1/SNMPv2c configuration file, sysedge.cf, defines the read-only and read-write community strings used in SNMPv1/SNMPv2c communication.

For more information about sysedge.cf, see the chapter “Agent Configuration.”

The agent retrieves the information about all valid SNMPv3 users, their respective SNMPv3 security configurations (the user's security level), and if it is applicable for a user, the user's authorization and privacy security information from the SNMPv3 configuration file, sysedgeV3.cf.

For more information about sysedgeV3.cf, see the chapter "Agent Configuration."
