Introduction to enabling Linux SNMP Protocol and related tools

The use of the SNMP protocol set has always been a concern of administrators. So we will give a detailed explanation of Linux SNMP. First, let's explain how to start the protocol. The basic functions of the Linux SNMP Protocol are: to obtain, 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 the 55th line view and change the last number 1 to 2. // You can 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 the Linux SNMP protocol to manage network servers. Currently, Linux SNMP tools 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 Linux SNMP knowledge, we will explain here.
