Refer to appropriate subsection to enable SNMP Agent on Linux system using one of two ways:
Install Using RPM
| 3. | Before installing the new version of net-snmp, you need to remove the earlier versions of net-snmp in your machine. To list the versions of net-snmp installed in your machine, execute the following command:
rpm -qa | grep "net-snmp" |
| 4. | If there are already installed version in your machine, remove them using the command:
rpm -e <version of net-snmp listed as the output for previous command> --nodeps |
| 5. | If there are no previously installed versions in your machine, then execute the following command to install the new version:
rpm -i <new downloaded version of SNMP agent> --nodeps |
This completes the installation process. For configuring SNMP agents to respond to SNMP requests, refer to Configuring SNMP agents.
Install Using ZIP
| 2. | Extract the file using following command:
tar -zxvf ucd-snmp-4.2.6.tar.gz |
| 4. | Execute the command to set the path of the C compiler:
export PATH=<gcc path>:$PATH |
| 5. | Execute the following four commands from the directory where you have extracted the ucd-snmp (directory_name is the directory to install SNMP agent; preferably choose a directory under /root, as directories /usr and /local might contain files of an older version of SNMP):
./configure --prefix=<directory_name> --with-mib-modules="host"
make
umask 022
make install |
This completes the installation process. For configuring SNMP agents to respond to SNMP requests, refer to Configuring SNMP agents.
