Setting Up Snmp On Unix; Configuring The Aix Snmp Daemon - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.1 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

Setting Up SNMP on UNIX

To set up SNMP support for your Directory Server on a UNIX machine:
Configure and start the master agent using the Administration Server Console.
1.
If you are using the default port settings (161 for SNMP and 199 for SMUX)
then you need to be root user. If you reconfigure the master agent
configuration and have ports with values higher than 1000, then it is not
necessary to be root user.
For information on setting up the master agent, refer to Managing Servers with
Netscape Console.
On AIX machines, configure the AIX SNMP Daemon.
2.
See "Configuring the AIX SNMP Daemon," on page 427 for information.
Enable the directory subagent.
3.
See "Configuring SNMP for the Directory Server," on page 429 for
information.
Start the directory subagent.
4.
See "Starting and Stopping the SNMP Subagent on UNIX," on page 428 for
information.

Configuring the AIX SNMP Daemon

If your SNMP daemon is running on AIX, it supports SMUX. For this reason, you
do not need to install a master agent. However, you need to change the AIX SNMP
daemon configuration.
AIX uses several configuration files to filter its communications. One of them,
, needs to be changed so that the SNMP daemon accepts the incoming
snmpd.conf
messages from the SMUX subagent. For more information, see the online manual
page for
snmpd.conf
For example, you might add this line to the
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1450.7 "" IP_address net_mask
where IP_address is the IP address of the host the subagent is running on, and
net_mask is the network mask of the host.
. You need to add a line to define each subagent.
