Initial SNMP Testing

Simple Network Management Using Net-SNMP and ftlSNMP 8-27

NOTES

1. Net-SNMP and ftlSNMP do not require the SNMP

NMS, and the package does not provide one. Choice,

installation, and configuration of the SNMP NMS is

your responsibility.

2. The SRA-ftLinux-MIB file is only useful for managing

ftServer LInux-based systems.

Initial SNMP Testing

On a system with an SNMP-aware NMS, you start the NMS before starting SNMP

servers.

Start the master agent and the ftlSNMP subagents by typing:

# start_snmp

After this command completes, master agent and subagent processes with the names

snmpd, ftlsubagent, and ftltrapsubagent should be running. Verify this:

# ps -aux | grep snmnp

# ps -aux | grep ftl

In this command, process is one of the process names listed above. Any errors or

warnings generated during the startup script’s execution are posted to syslog and

stderr. See

‘‘Deploying SNMP Agents and Subagents’’ on page 8-145 for the default

destinations of messages logged by the master agent and subagent processes and

‘‘The ftlsubagent.conf and ftltrapsubagent.conf Files’’ on page 8-133 for

information on how to change the location of the subagent logs.

Note that there are many other commands available for managing Net-SNMP and

ftlSNMP. See

‘‘ftlSNMP Management Commands’’ on page 8-137 and

ftlsnmp_scripts(8) for descriptions of other commands, and read comments in the script

files.

To terminate these processes, run the stop_snmp command.

Initial Testing of ftltrapsubagent

The ftltrapsubagent.conf file allows you to control trap filtering. For detailed

information about controlling trap filtering, see

‘‘Trap Filtering’’ on page 8-161.

To perform initial testing of ftltrapsubagent, determine which system enclosure

can be safely brought down.
