Re: Enabling SNMP on a unix server

Hello

11.23 comes with SNMP Emanate Agents and the name of the service is snmpdm. It is under /usr/sbin/ directory.

To run it you need to invoke snmpd which starts snmpdm and various other agents.

The configuration file is under /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf
And the configuration is preety straight forward. Go through the comments in that file. If you have any questions, feel free to come back.

Regards
Padma

Re: Enabling SNMP on a unix server

edit /etc/rc.config.d/SnmpMaster and set

SNMP_MASTER_START=1

this will make it start at boot -- if you have the Start scripts linked to a runlevel.

This will start snmpdm:

#/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster start
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"
