The installation process is complete.
To start Workgroup Director as a standalone application, enter the following command:
wgd -h host [-c readCommunity] [-C writeCommunity]
[-t timeout] [-r retry] [-p port] [-P polling]
Following are explanations of the command options:
- -h host---The concentrator or workstation name or IP address. The name must be configured in the /etc/hosts file or NIS database.
- -c readCommunity---The string used for reading SNMP requests. The default is "public."
- -C writeCommunity---The string used for writing SNMP requests. The default is the same as the string for readCommunity.
- -t timeout---The number of seconds allowed for an SNMP request to respond. The default is 2 seconds.
- -r retry---The number of times to retry a request that has timed out. The default is 3.
- -p
port---The UDP port number. The default is 161.
- -P
polling---The polling interval. The default is 1 second.
If you want to change a default value when starting Workgroup Director, add the letter of the command (preceded by a hyphen), followed by a space, and then the new value. For example, if you want to change the read community string from public to cisco, enter the following command when starting Workgroup Director:
/usr/bin/wgd -h <host> -c cisco
