SNMP Setup - where is snmpconf
|
|
|
| In the process of attempting to set up mrtg, I am trying to set up snmp on a
test box. I see that I need to create an snmpd.conf file and that the man
page for snmpd.conf instructs me to run snmpconf -g basic_setup. I have also
located an FAQ file in the net-snmp folder on my box and it refers to the
same thing. Typing snmpconf at the command line is not recognized and I have
been unable to locate a file by that name anywhere on my system.
I am running Redhat Linux 9.0. Can anyone give me some direction on this. I
have been following the mrtg instructions with a fair amount of success
until I came to this point.
Thanks,
Rod

Assuming no change from this RH8 box:
[me@pbrain]$ whereis snmpconf
snmpconf: /usr/bin/snmpconf
Typing snmpconf gives me the app's prompt ...
Just checked the RH9 net-snmp-utils-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm :
[me@pbrain]$ rpm -qpl net-snmp*
....
/usr/bin/net-snmp-config
/usr/bin/snmpbulkget
/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk
/usr/bin/snmpconf <<<<<<
/usr/bin/snmpdelta
.... etc.
Seems you may have a "messed up" PATH?
Or perhaps net-snmp is not installed?
[me@pbrain]$ rpm -qi net-snmp
Name : net-snmp Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 5.0.9 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 2.80.1
.... etc.
Description :
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for
.... etc.
This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons,
documentation, [etc. ...]
You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,
which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
[me@pbrain]$ rpm -qi net-snmp-utils
Name : net-snmp-utils Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 5.0.9 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 2.80.1
.... etc.

| Thanks for your help. My path was OK and net-snmp was installed, but I did
not have the utilities loaded which was apparently the problem. It is
working now. At least the script is running. I haven't actually tried to
configure it yet. More fun ahead.
Thanks,
Rod
