This post explains a simple way to enable Ne-t-SNMP function on lan.
here is the step-by-step procedure.
first, Configure your snmpd.conf file before starting the agent.
here is the sample form:
##### your snmpd.conf file #######
#
# assign the community name for rw & ro-Community
rocommunity public 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.100
rwcommunity private
#
# after this segment in the snmpd.conf
# load all the agent modules
# Good Luck
the second step is to disable the firewall in the system
In Linux system Firewall is an in-built package.
to disable firewall,
at the terminal run these as root,
/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
now the firewall is disabled.
Finally start the snmpd service.
now the system must be able to get all the information required from the agent.
how will u ping which system information u want to monitor?? every time u got to change the IP address @ rocommunity in snmpd.conf in order to monitor a particular system eh??
ReplyDeleteFirstly, ping is just a tool to check connectivity between two systems. as far as i know you cannot monitor anything with ping except the connectivity. if you want to sniff in thriugh the packets then use a sniffer tool..
ReplyDeletesecondl, Ya!! if the IP's of the system are DHCP then you have to change the IP's each and everytime.
Try configuring system to support static IP's..
