How to instasll SNMP
First, download the file from http://ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/pub/network/net-snmp/
Now, tar the file, using this command (this example use ver 5.1, but you may use it for other version).
#tar -zxvf net-snmp-5.1.4.tar.gz
#cd net-snmp-5.1.4
# ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/snmp
#make
#make install
# ee /usr/local/snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
*******the content************
com2sec public HOSTNAME public
group public v1 public
group public v2c public
group public usm public
view all included .1
access public “” any noauth exact all none none
**** Change the HOSTNAME (or IP ADDRESS)***
After snmpd.conf created, now actiavate snmp using commands below:
# /usr/local/snmp/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
checking whether snmp daemon runs flawlessly?
# /usr/local/snmp/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -c public HOSTNAME system
change the HOSTNAME with a hostname or IP Address you entered on “snmpd.conf”, if it works, you’ll get a message like this.

# echo “usr/local/snmp/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf” >> /etc/rc.local
