If you are still hunting for a solution for this subject, I hope what follows can help.
Also there is a useful link here: http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/README.aix.html
------------------------------------------------------------
Things you will need:
1. Root access
2. Run command
uname -a
To obtain below several pieces of information:
-operating system version,
-hardware platform
-net-snmp version desired
It will return something like:
AIX AIX52 2 5 000B64DF4C00 Once you have found the appropriate version, download it to a
distribution directory (making one if necessary) eg. /usr/local/dist
Go to http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/download/ for source code
Or http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/net-snmp.html to get binary ball.
------------------------------------------------------------
3. Download the binary version of gcc, openSSL and net-snmp with appropriate version to a distribution directory e.g.: /opt
gcc-3.3.2-4.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
openssl-0.9.7-1.src.rpm
net-snmp.5.2.tar.Z
Download gcc and openSSL from:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/net-snmp.html
Download net-snmp from :
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/net-snmp.html
------------------------------------------------------------
4.Upload the package to dist directory,such as /opt.
# cd /opt
# ls
gcc-3.3.2-4.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
openssl-0.9.7-1.src.rpm
net-snmp.5.2.tar.Z
5. Install gcc
Type the following:
# rpm -U gcc-3.3.2-4.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
gcc will be installed by default.
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
7. Determine existing SNMP functionality (eg. AIX's snmpdx daemon)
Run the following commands:
# ps -ef|grep snmp
root 5996 4176 0 22:31:35 - 0:00 /usr/sbin/snmpd
root 7250 4176 0 22:31:41 - 0:00 /usr/sbin/snmpmibd
If the AIX’s SNMP are running, then disable it. Here is the procedure:
# stopsrc -s snmpd
or
# kill -9 5996
------------------------------------------------------------
8. Installing net-snmp binaries
Type the following: (using the sample above)
# cd /opt
# uncompress *.Z
# cp net-snmp.5.2.tar /
# tar -xvf net-snmp.5.2.tar
The binaries, libraries, etc. will be installed in /usr/local by default.
------------------------------------------------------------
10. Creating snmpd.conf and testing
When everything is installed, type:
cd /usr/local/bin
./snmpconf
And answer the questions appropriately. Here is the example of answer:
Select File: 3 -- snmpd.conf
Select Section: 1 -- System information setup
The location of the system: rushmore office
The contact information: contract administrator
Select Section: finished
Select Section: 2 -- Access control setup
Select Section: 3 -- SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name
Enter rocommunity name: public
The host name or network address…… : Enter
The OID ……: Enter
Select Section: 4 -- SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-write access community name
Enter rocommunity name: private
The host name or network address…… : Enter
The OID ……: Enter
Select Section: finished
Select Section: 6 -- Agent Operating Mode
Select Section: 4 -- The IP address and port number that agent will listen on
Enter the port number: 161
Select Section: finished
Select Section: finished
Select Section: quit
Then add the following line to snmpd.conf
com2sec notConfigUser default public
# groupName securityModel securityName
group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
# Make at least snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again.
# name incl/excl subtree mask(optional)
view allview included .1.3.6
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
# group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact allview none none
After finished the setup, snmpd.conf file likes:
########################################################################
# snmpd.conf
#
# - created by the snmpconf configuration program
#
######################################################################## SECTION: System Information Setup
#
# This section defines some of the information reported in
# the "system" mib group in the mibII tree.
# syslocation: The [typically physical] location of the system.
# Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
# perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make
# the agent return the "notWritable" error code. IE, including
# this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
# the variable.
# arguments: location_string
syslocation "rushmore office"
# syscontact: The contact information for the administrator
# Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
# perform an snmp SET operation to the sysContact.0 variable will make
# the agent return the "notWritable" error code. IE, including
# this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
# the variable.
# arguments: contact_string
syscontact "contact administrator"
######################################################################## SECTION: Access Control Setup
#
# This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
# snmp agent.
# rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name
# arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]
rocommunity public
# rwcommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-write access community name
# arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]
rwcommunity private
#######################################################################
# agentaddress: The IP address and port number that the agent will listen on.
# By default the agent listens to any and all traffic from any
# interface on the default SNMP port (161). This allows you to
# specify which address, interface, transport type and port(s) that you
# want the agent to listen on. Multiple definitions of this token
# are concatenated together (using ':'s).
# arguments: [transport:]port[@interface/address],...
agentaddress 161
com2sec notConfigUser default public
# groupName securityModel securityName
group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
# Make at least snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again.
# name incl/excl subtree mask(optional)
view allview included .1.3.6
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
# group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact allview none none
Then type the following:
#cp snmpd.conf /usr/local/share/snmp/
#/usr/local/sbin/snmpd &
Test the daemon's functionality by MIB-Browser or typing:
snmpget -v 1 -c public localhost sysUpTime.0
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -m ALL localhost .1.3 | more
If you have problems, you can examine diagnostic messages
by running:
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -L
------------------------------------------------------------
You also could check SNMP through MIB-browser tool by walk. |
