When starting out learning about NetSNMP, I installed everything into the
following private directory location for testing
/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/
I updated the "snmpd.conf" and "snmp.conf" files accordingly to include MIB
information, etc.... but I had trouble with the "MIB files" being located when
performing "snmpwalk", "snmpget", etc.. commands.
Turns out the problem was that I was using the wrong "snmpwalk", 'snmpget"
command executable files. I was using the "/usr/local/bin/snmpxxxx" commands
instead of the NetSNMP "/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/bin/snmpxxxx"
commands. I was told the "/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/bin/snmpxxxx"
commands were required since those commands utilized the "snmpd.conf" and
"snmp.conf" file information, while the "/usr/local/bin/snmpxxxx" commands did
not.
Questions:
1) When I integrate all of this NetSNMP code into my environment, I was going
to install it into the default "/usr/local/" directory which would result in
the existing "snmpwalk", "snmpget", etc... commands being overwritten with the
new versions of these commands..... correct?
2) Does anyone know if replacing the existing SNMP commands, etc.. with the
new versions of the NetSNMP commands which come with NetSNMP-5.4 would cause me
any problems? I want to make sure the newer versions of the NetSNMP commands
(which read "conf" files) can replace the older SNMP commands (which I do not
think read "conf" files ...??) without causing problems.
