No idea. Secret squirrel stuff. Do you really have a need to know? >From 'MVS Programming: Callable Services for High-Level Languages, Ch 14':
"An SNMP community name is associated with a particular CPC. The same SNMP community name that was defined in the support element configuration for a particular CPC also must be defined in the security product for each CPC to which communication is required. This community name definition is extracted from the security product by BCPii and propagated to the support element. The support element validates that the community name passed by BCPii is correct before proceeding with the request." So the SNMP definitions are used as a basic security mechanism only, not as a communications protocol. Ant. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Itschak Mugzach Sent: Wednesday, 5 June 2013 8:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: z/os 1.13 and BCPII internal protocol IBM states that it uses an internal protocol that replaces the old SNMP one. from the installation guide, it is clear that they use SNMP (community name is defined on both HMC and BCPII) but it runs from the SE to the HMC over private lan. So, what exactly is this "private protocol"?
