How to instasll SNMP

August 14th, 2008 by admin

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.

SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8072.3.2.255

SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (7256) 0:01:12.56

SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: root@

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: host.hostname.org

SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Unknown

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: SNMPv2-MIB::snmpMIB

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.2 = OID: SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmBasicGroup

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.3 = OID: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpFrameworkMIBCompliance

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.4 = OID: SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpMPDCompliance

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.5 = OID: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmMIBCompliance

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1 = STRING: The MIB module for SNMPv2 entities

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.2 = STRING: View-based Access Control Model for SNMP.

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.3 = STRING: The SNMP Management Architecture MIB.

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.4 = STRING: The MIB for Message Processing and Dispatching.

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.1 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.2 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.3 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.4 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.5 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00

Next, you can set the snmpd to dun from startup automatically by executing:

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