Re: SNMP help
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.

They will poll whater it's neccessary from daemon running on your FreeBSD as long as you provide them with appropriate access level in your snmpd.conf.

You will need to setup your snmpd.conf file, then make sure the snmpd daemon starts up. net-snmp 5.x added the neat snmpconf command that will walk you through setting up the snmpd.conf file (as well as a few others). After that's done, add: net_snmpd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, then run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snmpd.sh start, and you're set.

The should be a tool to assist with this. I installed from source so my conf file is /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf but your might be under /usr/local/etc there should be a script that was installed to help with config - I just cannot remember what it is called, a search on the snmpd home page might reveal some more clues.

If it is anything like Compaq's Inside Manager, you should only need to set the SNMP community string in the FreeBSD SMNP Deamon. How this is done I am not sure. There should be a way for you to set the read only and full controll community strings. Then just add the server like you would any other server in Open View. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

SNMP help
Hello all, 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? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, Ron Clark __ Do you Yahoo!?
