Page 255 highlights

Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000 Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000 The AIX NetView/6000 program can manage any IP-addressable device with an SNMP agent. NetView/6000 can be used to set a network topology, monitor a network, diagnose problems, and measure network performance. Through its MIB Browser, information about the resources affecting an event (such as an alarm) can be obtained. Setting The SNMP Community Name The default SNMP read-only community name is "public" and cannot be changed. Change the SNMP R/W community name with the command: set user passwd snmp com_name save where com_name is the new SNMP R/W community name. The default is no R/W community name. NOTE: Changing SNMP community names or access rights may hinder or disable applications that are monitoring your printers. 255
