Installing SNMP Agent on Solaris Systems
Download the latest version of SNMP using the following URL:
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net∞
Extract the file using following command:
tar -zxvf ucd-snmp-4.2.6.tar.gz
To install SNMP, follow the steps given below:
- Login as root user
- Execute the command to set the path of the C compiler:
export PATH=<gcc path>:$PATH
- Execute the following four commands from the directory where you have extracted the ucd-snmp:
-
./configure --prefix=<directory_name> --with-mib-modules="host"
directory_name is the directory to install SNMP agent. Preferably choose a directory under /root. The directories /usr and /local might contain the files of an older version of SNMP and so do not choose these directories to ensure proper installation.
make
umask 022
make install
This completes the installation process. To configure SNMP agents respond to SNMP requests, refer to Configuring SNMP agents.
