Configure IP Family for SNMP User Datagram Protocol Communications

Hosts can have multiple IP family source sockets and multiple family destination addresses, and you can set a preferred method for the agent's SNMP User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communications.

To set a preferred IP family method for UDP communications, add the following line to the sysedge.cf file:

sysedge_ip_family <method>
method

Specifies the preferred communication method. If the specified method is not available, the agent tries using IPv4 and then IPv6. The following options are available:

1

Specifies that the agent tries to use only IPv4 as the preferred SNMP UDP communication method.

2

Specifies that the agent tries to use only IPv6 as the preferred SNMP UDP communication method.

3

Specifies that the agent tries to use both IPv4 and IPv6 as the preferred SNMP UDP communication methods. This is the default method.

Examples

Enter the following line to use only IPv4 mode (if available) for SNMP UDP communications:

sysedge_ip_family 1
