Re: SNMP help

[Richard Coleman]

After installing the net-snmp port, add snmpd_enable="YES" to your 
/etc/rc.conf.  Then the snmpd daemon will start upon next boot (startup 
script should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d).  Then do your standard 
Openview snmp discovery for this machine.  That should be enough to get 
you started.  If you want to change the data reported, you will need to 
do some reading at that point to learn how to extend the MIB.  The 
O'reilly book on snmp is logical place to start for this.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have the port
installed, but how do I configure this beast to work
with OpenView? I have looked at the online docs for
the port, but it is all jibberish to this newbie.
Anyone have a simple to follow doc or set of
guidelines to setup net-snmp to be monitored by
Openview?
Thanks again in advance,
Ron Clark

I have been tasked with building two new FreeBSD
Servers for our

enterprise. Today, I was told that they have to
have the ability to

be polled by OpenView. So I have to load SNMP on
these servers. Any

suggestions as to what I should load to accomplish
this?

Install the net-snmp port.
