ENABLING SNMP ON HPUX 11.31

Mario Cárdenas — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:26:21 GMT

Good morning.

I am trying to config SNMP on our HP-UX 11.31 machines.

We'll monitor the systems with Spectrum Software.

I prepare the "/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf" file like this:

get-community-name: D#123--@30
set-community-name: D#123--@30
contact: Unidad de Servidores.
contact: MAPFRE - Venezuela
location: Casa Matriz - La Urbina # enter location of agent
#max-trap-dest: # enter max no. of trap-dest entries to be maintained.
trap-dest: 1.2.3.4
trap-dest: 5.6.7.8

What else do I have to change?.

Thank you!.

Hi Mario,

just update the /etc/snmmp.conf (or the equivalent link to etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf - you already did that) with your settings, enable Snmp-Daemon in the rc-file and start the SnmpMaster Agent.

# vi /etc/rc.config.d/SnmpMaster
SNMP_MASTER_START=1 # Start the master SNMP agent.
export SNMP_MASTER_START

# /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster start

Good Luck!

Thank you DaBe.

Those changes are already done... but the traps are not going any were.

I also check these files:

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf
/etc/snmpd.conf
/usr/newconfig/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

No success...

Any other idea?.

Thank you!.

I think there is also some problem in your snmpd.conf File.
As # is used for comments, this might be one problem. Try without the # in your community string.
Did you configure the ip-adress of your spectrum server as trap-destination?

see changes below:

get-community-name: D123--@30
set-community-name: D123--@30
contact: Unidad de Servidores.
contact: MAPFRE - Venezuela
location: Casa Matriz - La Urbina # enter location of agent
#max-trap-dest: # enter max no. of trap-dest entries to be maintained.
trap-dest:

After doing the changes, don't forget to restart SnmpMaster

# /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop && /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster start

Good Luck !
