Extend SNMP in Suite Administration

You can extend SNMP on your server to support additional SNMP MIBs, and customize the behavior of SNMP.

Support additional MIBs:

1. Edit: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
2. Extend the exposed view, as desired. For example, to expose the MIB-2 OIDs, add the following line:

   view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1

3. Restart the SNMPD daemon:

   # service snmpd restart

   If the restart process fails, run the following:

   # killall snmpd

   # service snmpd start

Change the default port:

To use port 10161 instead of the default SNMPd port to query the server:

1. Edit: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
2. Find the "Access control" section. Go to third step, and add the line:

   view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.21834

3. At the end of the file (just before the "Further Information" section), add the lines:

   proxy [-Cn CONTEXTNAME] [SNMPCMD_ARGS] HOST OID [REMOTEOID]

   proxy -v 2c -c public localhost:10161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.21834

4. Restart the SNMPD daemon:

   # service snmpd restart

   If the restart process fails, run the following:

   # killall snmpd

   # service snmpd start
