Configuring and Starting the SDX SNMP Agent > Installing and Using the Net-SNMP Agent

Installing and Using the Net-SNMP Agent

The SDX software distribution includes a prepackaged integration for the Net-SNMP agent. For information about using the Net-SNMP master agent in an SDX environment, see:

Installing the Net-SNMP Agent

Before you install the Net-SNMP agent, you must install the Python Runtime Environment (SMCpython and UMCpyadd packages) and disable all other SNMP master agents. For more information about installing the SDX software packages, see Chapter 5, Installing the SDX-300 Software.

To install the Net-SNMP agent:

  1. On the UNIX host where you will install the Net-SNMP agent, log in as root.
  2. Load SDX software disk 1 in the CD drive.
  3. Install the UMCnetsnmp package using the UNIX pkgadd tool. 
    4. pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/solaris UMCnetsnmp

The UMCnetsnmp package is installed in the /opt/UMC/net-snmp folder. Once installed, the Net-SNMP agent starts up automatically. The Net-SNMP agent also automatically restarts in the event of a host reboot.

Configuring the Net-SNMP Agent

The configuration file for the Net-SNMP agent is located in the installation directory (by default, /opt/UMC/net-snmp/etc/snmpd.conf). For more information about configuring the Net-SNMP agent, see the Net-SNMP documentation at:
