Dell OMSA: how to enable SNMP on openSUSE

Quite easy for openSUSE 11.3 . The only modification to normal procedure is to replace this line in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf :

#rocommunity public 127.0.0.1

rocommunity public

Dell OMSA: how to enable SNMP on Debian

This worked for me with Debian Lenny on a PE 2900. Reposting, since it took a bit of digging to find it. Credit to Bas Roos

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* apt-get install snmpd

* Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

- Comment out 'com2sec paranoid default public

- Uncomment out '#com2sec readonly default public'

- Change 'default' into our management IP range in the previous

step (resulting in 'com2sec readonly 192.168.2.0/24 public')

* Edit /etc/default/snmpd

- Change SNMPDOPTS

- Before: SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux

-p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1'

- After: SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -p

/var/run/snmpd.pid 0.0.0.0' (this enabled smux and made snmpd listen on

all interfaces, instead of lo)

* /etc/init.d/dataeng enablesnmp (this should enable SNMP for both dataeng

itself, as it adds a line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf)

* /etc/init.d/dataeng restart (restarts dataeng and starts dsm_sa_snmp32d)

* /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

After this, SNMP seems to be working:

username at mgmt-server:~$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.2.71

.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1
