Step-by-step guide

  1. Install snmpd and snmp

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    root@linux# sudo apt install snmpd snmp

    .

  2. The file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf contains the configuration of SNMPD. To query the SNMP from different sources, comment the below line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    title/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
    #agentaddress 127.0.0.1,[::1]

    .

  3. Restart the snmp service

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    root@linux# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

    .

  4. Now you can create a snmpwalk by using snmpbulkwalk.  This will work locally as well as remotely.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    root@linux# snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public mysnmpdtesthost01
