Install SNMP Centos / RHEL
nstalling SNMP daemon and tools:
As root
yum -y install net-snmp.i686
yum -y install net-snmp-utils
Once these are installed start the snmp daemon:
/etc/init.d/snmpd start
chkconfig snmpd on
This is just the basic install but testing it :
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public -O e 127.0.0.1
For production servers it is advisable to at least change the community name.
All configs are in
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
In the first step we want to achieve that with a separate password to access from the local machine via time localhost and from the eignenen network segment only answer. The default template file we are now adjusting to our first test as described below.
and traps are setup here:

With this minimal configuration of the SNMP daemon following parameters can be queried:
-
CPU load and average load (load)
-
Number of processes
-
Memory and swap usage
-
Disk Utilization
-
logged in user
-
Network interface
Server startup
The first launch of our daemons is the usual syntax diagram:
# service snmpd start
start snmpd: [OK]
In syslog the successful start is acknowledged accordingly:
Nss Jan 10 14:12:38 snmpd [2782 6 ]: Creating directory: / var/net- snmp nss Jan 10 14:12:38 snmpd [2782 6 ]: NET- SNMP version 5.3.1
In order for the snmp daemon snmpd starts automatically at every system start, the establishment of a start-script can be reached via the following command:
# chkconfig snmpd on
A check whether the service (daemon) really sshd is started at each boot automatically, can be achieved by following command:
# chkconfig --list | grep snmpd snmpd 0: OFF 1: OFF 2: ON 3: on 4: on 5: A 6 : Off
erster Test the Minimal Configuration
In our first configuration, we have indicated that both localhost and mynetwork should be used different passwords. Now we want to try this in the first Test. For testing we use the program snmpwalk from the RPM package net- snmp -utils .
a description of the options we need to refer to the man page of snmpwalk .
