SNMP community user
SNMP community user
We know that any monitoring tool (like Nagios , Mrtg etc ) installation needs SNMP to be configured.
In case you find any queries related to “snmp community user”, you can follow the steps below:
Command to use SNMP community user:
net-snmp-config –create-snmpv3-user -ro -a MD5 -A PASSWORD USERNAME
Example:
If I want to create a SNMP community user “admin” with password “tree321″,
then the command will be:
net-snmp-config –create-snmpv3-user -ro -a MD5 -A admin tree321
Note:
Encrypted password of SNMP community user will be stored
in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf.
Config file for SNMP : /etc/snmp/snmp.conf
In case you can’t find the command “net-snmp-config”, don’t get panic:)
Just install net-snmp-devel using yum or up2date.
