Server Administrator SNMP Agent Install Actions
If Server Administrator detects the default SNMP configuration during
installation, it attempts to modify the SNMP agent configuration to give
read-only access to the entire MIB tree for the public community.
Server Administrator modifies the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf SNMP agent
configuration file in two ways.
The first change is to create a view to the entire MIB tree by adding the
following line if it does not exist:
view all included .1
The second change is to modify the default access line to give read-only access
to the entire MIB tree for the public community. Server Administrator looks
for the following line:
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview
none none
If Server Administrator encounters this line, it modifies the line as follows:
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all none
none
These changes to the default SNMP agent configuration give read-only access
to the entire MIB tree for the public community.
NOTE: To ensure that Server Administrator is able to modify the SNMP agent
configuration to provide proper access to systems management data, it is
recommended that any other SNMP agent configuration changes be made after
installing Server Administrator.
Server Administrator SNMP communicates with the SNMP agent using the
SNMP Multiplexing (SMUX) protocol. When Server Administrator SNMP
connects to the SNMP agent, it sends an object identifier to the SNMP agent
to identify itself as a SMUX peer. Because that object identifier must be
configured with the SNMP agent, Server Administrator adds the following
line to the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, during
installation if it does not exist:
smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1
