problems with configuring net-snmp and snmpd.conf

[subhadeep . das]

Hello everyone,

I am actualy using a software called nagios which uses a plugin called check_traffic to check for trafic using snmp>
In this it uses the snmpget and the snmpwalk to check for traffic and then store it to later create a graph.

The first point is that i have the file snmpd.conf in my /etc/snmp in my linux which is fedora core 1

I installed the net-snmp 5.1.0 version by doing the following:

./ configure --prefix=/users/stage/frq03383/nagios/snmp and then followed it up with the make all and make install packages which installed perfectly okay.

now my problem is that i don't know as to how to configure net-snmp to work with snmpd.conf so that snmpget and snmpwalk can work with the check_traffic plugin.

If anybody knows how and what to do could he please explain me. I am also at a bit of a loss with the documentation.

i know snmpconf can help to create a snmpd.conf file but don't really understand it.

I thank you for your time.
