Useful things to know when reporting issues like this: what version of the snmp daemon, where did you get it, is it compiled from source or a 3rd-party package system, etc... also, this kind of thing is usually "more appropriately" targeted at the relevant support lists (Solaris, snmp, etc).


Make sure the daemon is listening properly on the port and proper interfaces:

fuser 161/udp
netstat -plan | grep snmpdx # (syntax may or may no be right on solaris)

Test SNMP connectivity locally and remotely, also try snmp v1...

snmpwalk -v2c -c ${community_string} 127.0.0.1 system
snmpwalk -v2c -c $CSTRING $HOSTNAME system

Also, there are a bunch of really great books out there on *NIX systems administration and Google is your friend, really.

Help!

I am a Windows guy who is stumbling his way through learning UNIX. I would like to add a few test UNIX boxes into Zenoss but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to setup SNMP? Everything thing I have found so far on google may as well be in Chineese ... can someone point me to a simple and straightfoward resource that will explain how to configure a Solaris 10 UNIX SNMP agent?

I have verified that the snmpdx service is online and running on my box and I have modified /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf to reflect my SNMP communities, manager, etc. After restarting the SNMP service I attempt to add the device to Zenoss but it never does anything.

I'm completely clueless as to how to troubleshoot ... can any help?
