Configuring the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Viewing SNMP status

Using the Stats menu in the SNMP Agent Manager, you can view SNMP statistics generated by the snmpstat(1Msnmp) command. You can select:

These statistics displays will, by default, show system and network names. To show numbers instead, select Stats -> Display Mode -> numeric.

You can also view these statistics from the command line by using snmpstat with the options shown above. Its complete syntax is:

snmpstat [options] [node] [community]

If you specify a community, you must also specify a node name. If no community argument is specified, the default community of public is used.

Viewing the system group status

The SNMP Agent Manager's main screen displays the current system group status. You can also display this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp).

The following is an example of using snmpstat with the -s option to retrieve the system group.

snmpstat system group example

   # snmpstat -s paris public
   

System Group Description: SNMPD Version 3.0 for SCO UNIX ObjectID: SCO.1.0 UpTime: 1 hour, 1 minute, 40 seconds, 95 hundredths Contact: Trevor Jones x256 Name: paris.cities.mynet.com Location: First Floor Computer Room Services: applications, end-to-end

snmpstat takes care of formatting the information in a way that is easier to understand. For example, snmpstat converts the raw clock ticks of the agent uptime into hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second.

Viewing active endpoints

You can view a list of active endpoints by selecting Stats -> Active Endpoints in the SNMP Agent Manager.

The display shows:

You can also obtain this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -n option.

The display shows:

You can also use snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -t option to view this information.

Showing the routing table

You can view the routing table by selecting Stats -> Routing Table in the SNMP Agent Manager.

The display shows:

In the example shown, five routes are shown for the system paris. Three of them are directly attached. These are the routes for loopback, the local system, and the cities subnet. Two others have been acquired by the RIP routing protocol from the host volga-cities.

You can also obtain this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -r option.

Viewing the address translation table

You can view address translations of sites with which SNMP recently communicated. Select Stats -> Address Table in the SNMP Agent Manager.

The display shows:

You can also obtain this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -a option.

The display shows:

You can also obtain this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -i option.

You can view all SNMP objects by selecting Stats -> SNMP Statistics in the SNMP Agent Manager.

You can also obtain this information by using snmpstat(1Msnmp) with the -S option.
