Installation and Configuration Steps

Pre-Installation

The SNMP Master Agent must be installed and configured on the managed server as per the

operating system directions prior to installing the SNMP subagents. Community name string and

trap destinations must be configured correctly. Once the SNMP subagents are installed, the MIB

files must be copied to any SNMP Management Applications requiring the supported OID and

attribute information. Operating system specific installation and configuration information follows.

NOTE

The SNMP subagents are intended for use with third-party SNMP-based management clients. For

information on installing and configuring third-party SNMP-based management clients, refer to the

documentation included with the client software you intend to install.

Linux Systems

Master Agent

The SNMP subagent works with the NET-SNMP master agent version package included in the

Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 4 release.

Configuration File

Since the baseboard SNMP subagent is designed to use AgentX protocol to communicate with

NET-SNMP master agent on Linux, the configuration file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf for snmpd needs

to have the following lines in it (the first line is a comment line). The Master Agent must be

restarted in order for any configuration file changes to take effect.

# This line allows SNMP remote access to the subagent

rwcommunity <communityname>

# This line turns on agentx master agent support

master agentx

# This line enables V2 trap sending

trap2sink localhost <communityname>

NOTE

For information on enabling the subagent to set thresholds, see “Windows and Linux snmpsa.conf

Change to Enable Setting Thresholds” on page 17.
