A brief understanding of the Linux SNMP Tool

SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol: Simple Network Management Protocol, which is a standard Protocol used to manage nodes on an IP Network. Let's learn about SNMP in Linux.

The basic function of Linux SNMP is to get, set, and receive unexpected messages sent by the proxy. Obtaining refers to sending a request from the base station. The proxy returns the corresponding data based on the request and sets the value of the management object (that is, the proxy) set by the base station, the unexpected information sent by the receiving proxy refers to the exceptions that the proxy can report to the base station when the base station does not request.

Simply put, it is convenient for administrators to manage in a timely and convenient manner.

Enable the Linux SNMP protocol

 
 

  
  
＃vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf  
 
 

Copy line 1 view and change the last number 1 to 2 // to monitor local traffic

# Service snmpd start // Enable snmp. As long as this protocol is enabled, it can be monitored by MRTG.

Linux SNMP network management tools use Linux SNMP to manage network servers is a common centralized management method. Currently, Linux SNMP tools on Linux are divided into system management tools and Linux SNMP tools,

System Management tools include:
 

 
 

  
  
* Mon (http://consult.ml.org /~ Trockij/mon/) System Monitoring Tool
  
  
* PIKT (http://pikt.uchicago.edu/pikt/) Fault Monitoring Tool
  
  
* Scotty (http://www.cs.utwente.nl /~ Schenw/scotty/) network management tool
  
  
* Big Brother (http://www.iti.qc.ca/iti/users/sean/bb-dnld/) System Monitoring Tool
 
 

Linux SNMP tools include:
 

 
 

  
  
* MRTG (http://www.ee.ethz.ch /~ Oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html) Network Traffic Monitoring Tool
  
  
* Cmu-snmp (http://www.gaertner.de/snmp/) SNMP Tool
