Procedure

Start

Log on as dtuser.
Adding Blueworx Voice Response SNMP definitions: Use the DTsnmpd.cfg script to:
- Add or upgrade the Blueworx Voice Response information in the Management Information Base (MIB) definitions file (/etc/mib.defs) and the snmpd configuration files (/etc/snmpdv3.conf and /etc/snmpd.peers)
- Add the entry for DTSNMPD_START to the tasklist.data file (shown in Entries in the tasklist.data file:).
Type the following command and press Enter:
```
/usr/lpp/dirTalk/tools/DTsnmpd.cfg
```
Enter the root password when requested.
By default, this script removes any existing Blueworx Voice Response definitions from /etc/mib.defs, /etc/snmpdv3.conf and /etc/snmpd.peers, and then adds the current Blueworx Voice Response data. The following message is displayed:
```
DTsnmpd.cfg is about to add/replace Blueworx Voice Response entries in
 /etc/snmpdv3.conf and /etc/snmpd.peers. Existing
versions will be saved as /etc/snmpdv3.conf.save and
/etc/snmpd.peers.save
```
Note: In AIX 6.1, the default level of snmpd is version 3. The configuration file for version 3 is /etc/snmpdv3.conf.

Optionally, you can completely rebuild /etc/mib.defs from the MIB definitions in /usr/samples/snmpd, but only if these samples and the MIB compiler (mosy) are installed. This should not normally be necessary.
After running DTsnmpd.cfg, the following line of Blueworx Voice Response data is added to /etc/snmpdv3.conf:
```
smux    1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.30  "directTalk6000" # Added by DTsnmpd.cfg
```
The DTsnmpd.cfg script does not give you the opportunity to change any other information in the /etc/snmpdv3.conf files, but you can make other changes by logging on as root and editing the required file directly. Any changes you make are not overwritten by subsequently runningDTsnmpd.cfg. If you make any changes after running DTsnmpd.cfg, refresh the snmpd daemon to activate those changes, by using the following command when logged on as root:
```
refresh -s snmpd
```
If you are using SNMP to control Blueworx Voice Response remotely, as described in the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Managing and Monitoring the System information and to run any of the snmpinfo set commands, you must have write access to certain MIB definitions.

To set up the correct writeView for VACM_ACCESS.
1. Verify the version of snmpd in use by entering the command:
```
ls -l /usr/sbin/snmpd
```
  If the file is linked to snmpdv3ne, version 3 is in use and the correct configuration file is therefore /etc/snmpdv3.conf.
2. Update the configuration file to grant the write permission for user: In snmpdv3.conf, the writeView parameter for group1 under VACM_ACCESS is set by default to - as shown below:
```
#VACM_ACCESS groupName contextPrefix contextMatch securityLevel  securityModel   readView     writeView    notifyView  storageType
VACM_ACCESS    group1        -            -       noAuthNoPriv      SNMPv1     defaultView        -        defaultView      -
```
  Change the - to defaultView to grant the write permission as shown below:
```
#VACM_ACCESS groupName contextPrefix contextMatch securityLevel  securityModel   readView     writeView    notifyView  storageType
VACM_ACCESS    group1        -            -       noAuthNoPriv      SNMPv1     defaultView   defaultView   defaultView      -
```
3. Recycle snmpd by entering these commands:
```
stopsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpd
```
Enabling the Blueworx Voice Response SNMP daemon to be started automatically : You may want the Blueworx Voice Response SNMP daemon to start automatically whenever AIX is restarted, even if Blueworx Voice Response itself is not started. This ensures that the daemon does not miss any Blueworx Voice Response alarms that might occur, and allows Blueworx Voice Response to be started remotely via SNMP.
Use your editor to open the rc.dirTalk file in the /etc directory.

Remove the # from the following entries:

#/usr/lpp/dirTalk/tools/vae.setenv

#/usr/lpp/dirTalk/sw/bin/DTSNMPD_START

Ensure that the AIX snmpd daemon itself is automatically restarted whenever AIX is restarted. For more information on the snmpd daemon, see the Commands Reference.
Save the modified rc.dirTalk file.
Specifying options when starting the SNMP daemon: You can specify options when the SNMP daemon is started. To do this, edit the DTSNMPD_START script. The same options are used whether the daemon is started independently of Blueworx Voice Response or with Blueworx Voice Response, because the same script is used for both. For details of the dtsnmpd options, see the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Configuring the System information.
Updating the SNMP system directory: You might need to provide the Blueworx Voice Response SNMP MIB definition to the application you are using for SNMP network management. Consult the documentation accompanying the application for the proper method of doing this. The MIB definition is supplied in two formats, and both files are located in the SYSPARM_DIR directory on the system where Blueworx Voice Response is installed:

dtsnmpd.my file

Transfer this file to the directory where the MIB is located, on the system where the system-management application is to run.

dtsnmpd.defs file

This file has been compiled using the mosy command and is in the format used in the /etc/mib.defs file. You can add the contents of the file to the end of the /etc/mib.defs file on the system on which the system-management application is to run. The /etc/mib.defs file is used by SNMP commands, such as snmpinfo. (The snmpinfo utility is supplied with the AIX Base Operating System TCP/IP Server, and is located in the /usr/sbin directory.)
Use the ftp command or Network File System (NFS) to transfer the dtsnmpd.my file, or write the file to diskette or tape from the Blueworx Voice Response system and restore it to the appropriate directory on the system on which the system-management application is to run.

Blueworx Voice Response's SNMP support is now installed.
