Installing and configuring NMS SNMP
Installing the master agent under UNIX
This topic describes how to install, configure, and start the SNMP master agent on SPARC Solaris
and Linux systems.
Note: The installation and configuration procedures for NMS subagents are different from that of
the master agent. To install the NMS subagents and multiplexer, refer to Installing the NMS
subagents and multiplexer. To configure the NMS subagents, modify the file snmp.cfg as
described in Reconfiguring multiplexer IP/UDP ports.
Installing under Solaris
To install, configure, and start the SNMP master agent on a Solaris system:
Note: For detailed information, see the Solstice Enterprise Agents User Guide.
1. Log on as superuser.
2. Install the Solstice Enterprise agent access control.
3. Access a command prompt.
4. To start the master agent, enter the following:
/etc/init.d/init.snmpdx start
5. Verify that the SNMP master agent is properly installed.
To do so, you can use any SNMP management station. You can also use the snmpwalk
demonstration program (installed with the SNMP package) to enumerate the contents of the
Mib II agents.
6. Install the NMS subagents and multiplexer as described in Installing the NMS subagents and
multiplexer.
Installing under Linux
The SNMP package has been tested using the UCD (University of Columbia at Davis) SNMP release
ucd-snmp-4.0.1-4.rpm. You can find the latest UCD package at rpmfind.net or at netsnmp.sourceforge.net (previously known as ucd-snmp.ucdavis.edu) web site.
To install, configure, and start the SNMP master agent on a Linux system:
1. Install the SNMP package. To do so, access a command prompt and enter:
rpm -i ucd-snmp-4.0.1-4.rpm
2. Start the SNMP master agent by entering:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start
3. Verify that the SNMP master agent is properly installed.
To do so, you can use any SNMP management station. You can also use the snmpwalk
demonstration program (installed with the SNMP package) to enumerate the contents of the
Mib II agents.
4. Install the NMS subagents and multiplexer as described in Installing the NMS subagents and
multiplexer.
