mwtm ipaccess

Server Only

Full Syntax

mwtm ipaccess [add [ip-addr] | clear | edit | list | rem [ip-addr] | sample]

Command Description

Enables you to create and manage a list of client IP addresses allowed to connect to the MWTM server.

The list of allowed client IP addresses is contained in the ipaccess.conf file. By default, when you first install MWTM, the ipaccess.conf file does not exist and MWTM allows all client IP addresses to connect to the MWTM server. To create the ipaccess.conf file and work with the list of allowed client IP addresses, specify one of the following keywords:

add—Add the specified client IP address to the ipaccess.conf file. If the ipaccess.conf file does not already exist, this command creates a file with the first entry.

clear—Remove all client IP addresses from the ipaccess.conf file, and allow connections from any MWTM client IP address.

edit—Open and edit the ipaccess.conf file directly. If the ipaccess.conf file does not already exist, this command creates an empty file.

list—List all client IP addresses currently in the ipaccess.conf file. If no client IP addresses are listed (that is, the list is empty), connections from any MWTM client IP address are allowed.

rem—Remove the specified client IP address from the ipaccess.conf file.

sample—Print out a sample ipaccess.conf file.

Any changes you make take effect when you restart the MWTM server.

See the "Limiting MWTM Client Access to the MWTM Server (Server Only)" section on page 10-32 for more information about using this command.

mwtm maxevhist

Server Only

Full Syntax

mwtm maxevhist [number-of-rows]

Command Description

Sets the maximum number of rows for MWTM to search in the event history logs. The event history logs are the current and archived MWTM network status logs for status change and SNMP trap messages. MWTM sends the results of the search to the Web browser, where the results are further limited by the setting of the mwtm maxhtmlrows command.

If you enter this command without the number-of-rows argument, MWTM displays the current maximum number of rows. You can then change that value, or leave it as-is. The valid range is 1 row to an unlimited number of rows. The default value is 15000 rows.

The default setting is sufficient in most MWTM environments. However, you might need to increase the setting if MWTM has archived a large number of event history logs, each log contains thousands of messages, and you want to search more than 15000 rows. However, be aware that increasing this setting can increase the search time.

mwtm msglogsize

Server Only

Full Syntax

mwtm msglogsize [number-of-lines]

Command Description

Sets the maximum number of messages to write to the message log file before starting a new file.

mwtm servername

Server and Solaris/Linux Clients Only

Full Syntax

mwtm servername [hostname]

Command Description

Resets the MWTM server' default host name, where hostname is the new default host name:

Make sure the new default host name is valid and is defined in your /etc/hosts file. If it is not, you might not be able to start the MWTM server.

If you are not logged in as the root user or as a super user when you enter this command from an MWTM client, the default host name is changed only for that MWTM client, and for the user who entered the command.

If you are logged in as the root user or as a super user when you enter this command, the default host name is changed for the MWTM server and for the client, and the MWTM server is restarted. The new default host name is used by the MWTM server to register RMI services, and by MWTM clients to connect to the server.

If you are logged into a client-only installation as the root user or as a super user when you enter this command, the default host name is changed only for that MWTM client. The new default host name is used by the MWTM client to connect to the MWTM server.


Note Using the mwtm servername command to reset the MWTM server's default host name does not affect communication between the MWTM server and the network elements.

mwtm setpath

Server and Solaris/Linux Clients Only

Full Syntax

mwtm setpath [username]

Command Description

Appends binary (bin) directories to the path for a user. This enables users to append the proper MWTM binary directories to their paths without manually editing the .profile and .cshrc files.

This command appends lines such as these to the user's .profile file:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/CSCOsgm/bin:/opt/CSCOsgmClient/bin # CiscoSGM

and appends lines such as these to the user's .cshrc file:

set path=($path /opt/CSCOsgm/bin /opt/CSCOsgmClient/bin) # CiscoSGM

Thereafter, you can enter MWTM commands like this:

mwtm help

instead of like this:

/opt/CSCOsgm/bin/mwtm help

When entering this command, keep the following considerations in mind:

If you enter this command and you do not specify a username, MWTM appends the bin directories to your path (that is, to the path for the user who is currently logged in and entering the mwtm setpath command).

If you enter this command and you specify a username, MWTM appends the bin directories to the path for the specified user. To specify a username, the following conditions must all be true:

You must be logged in as the root user.

The specified username must exist in the local /etc/passwd file.

You cannot specify a username that is defined in a distributed Network Information Services (NIS) system or in an Network File System-mounted (NFS-mounted) home directory.

If you enter this command more than once for the same user, each command overwrites the previous command. MWTM does not append multiple bin directories to the same path.

You might need to use the su - command when entering root-level commands. If you use the su command to become the root user, rather than logging in as the root user, then you must use the - option.

mwtm snmpconf

Server Only

Full Syntax

mwtm snmpconf [filename]

Command Description

Sets the file used for SNMP parameters, such as community names, timeouts, and retries.

The default path and filename for the SNMP parameters file is /opt/CSCOsgm/etc/communities.conf. If you installed MWTM in a directory other than /opt, then the file is located in that directory.

When you specify a new path or filename, MWTM restarts the servers.


Note The SNMP parameters file uses the HP OpenView format. Therefore, you can set this path and filename to point to the HP OpenView ovsnmp.conf file in an existing OpenView system.

For information about exporting SNMP community names from CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME), see the "Importing SNMP Community Names from CiscoWorks (Solaris Only)" section on page 11-2.

Full Syntax

mwtm trapaccess [add [ip-addr] | clear | edit | list | rem [ip-addr] | sample]

Command Description

Enables you to create and manage a list of network element IP addresses allowed to send traps to the MWTM server.

The list of allowed network element IP addresses is contained in the trapaccess.conf file. By default, when you first install MWTM, the trapaccess.conf file does not exist and MWTM allows all IP addresses to send traps to the MWTM server. To create the trapaccess.conf file and work with the list of allowed client IP addresses, specify one of the following keywords:

add—Add the specified IP address to the trapaccess.conf file. If the file does not already exist, this command creates the file containing the first entry.

clear—Remove all IP addresses from the trapaccess.conf file, and allow traps from any MWTM client IP address.

edit—Open and edit the trapaccess.conf file directly. If the trapaccess.conf file does not already exist, this command creates an empty file.

list—List all IP addresses currently in the trapaccess.conf file. If no IP addresses are listed (that is, the list is empty), traps from any MWTM IP address are allowed.

rem—Remove the specified IP address from the trapaccess.conf file.

sample—Print out a sample trapaccess.conf file.

Any changes you make take effect when you restart the MWTM server.

See the "Limiting Traps by IP Address (Server Only)" section on page 11-29 for more information about using this command.
