What does linux snmp service mean?

In Linux, the SNMP service refers to the Simple Network Management Protocol. It is a network management standard protocol widely used in TCP/IP networks. It provides a central computer running network management software (i.e. Network management workstation) to monitor and manage a standardized management framework (method) for computer networks. SNMP services enable network administrators to manage network performance, identify and resolve network problems, and plan for network growth.

What is SNMP service?

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network management standard protocol (application layer protocol) widely used in TCP/IP networks. It provides a central computer running network management software. (i.e. network management workstation) to monitor and manage the standardized management framework (method) of computer networks. Currently, three versions of SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 have been promulgated, which are widely used in network equipment such as network switches, routers, and printers.

SNMP is a standard protocol specially designed for managing network nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches, HUBS, etc.) in IP networks. It is an application layer protocol. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, identify and resolve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems are notified of network problems by receiving random messages (and event reports) via SNMP.

The predecessor of SNMP is Simple Gateway Monitoring Protocol (SGMP), which is used to manage communication lines. Subsequently, people made great modifications to SGMP, especially adding SMI and MIB that conform to the Internet definition. The improved protocol is the famous SNMP. The SNMP network management framework based on TCP/IP is the current standard in the industry and consists of three main parts, namely the management information structure SMI (Structure of Management Information), the management information base MIB and the management protocol SNMP.

• SMI defines the organization and identification of information used by the SNMP framework, and provides templates for MIB to define management objects and use management objects.

• MIB defines a collection of management objects that can be accessed through SNMP.

• The SNMP protocol is an application layer protocol that defines how the network manager reads and writes the MIB object of the agent process.

Configuring the SNMP service of Linux

1. Install the SNMP service

1) Check whether the snmp rpm package has been installed on the system

The following are the rpm packages required to install the snmp service:

libsensors3-2.10.6-55.el5.i386.rpm
lm_sensors-2.10.6-55.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm

Recommended to http://rpm. pbone.net/Download these rpm packages. This website is relatively comprehensive and contains various versions of packages.

Use command: $ rpm -qa|grep snmp

Check whether net-snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-5.el5, net-snmp-libs is installed -5.3.2.2-5.el5, net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5 three rpm packages

Use command: $ rpm -qa|grep libsen

Check whether libsensors3-2.10.6-55.el5 is installed

Use command: $ rpm -qa|grep lm

Check whether lm_sensors-2.10.6 is installed -55.el5

Note:

(1) There is a certain order for the installation of these packages, and there will be a prompt during installation. For example, when installing

net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm, you will be prompted that net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm must be installed first.

(2) net-snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm is not a package that must be installed, but installing it will bring a lot of help. It provides many tools, such as You can use the snmptranslate command to view oid, and you can use the snmpget, snmpwalk commands, etc.

（3）net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm、net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm、

net The three packages -snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-5.el5.i386.rpm have certain version requirements and must be of the same version, otherwise the installation will not succeed. I am using the 5.3.2.2-5.el5 version here. You can also download other versions of rpm packages, but please note that the versions must be consistent. During installation, you will also be prompted as to which version of the package is necessary. You can download it according to the prompts. Required package.

2) Install the above rpm packages

If the above packages are not installed in the system, install them first.

Use command: rpm –ivh package name

After installation, use command: $ rpm -qa|grep snmp to check whether it has been installed Successful installation.

YUM installation:

yum install -y net-snmp net-snmp-utils

3) Start snmp service

If the installation is successful, you can use the command:

$ service snmpd start

Prompt :Starting snmpd: [ OK ], then the snmp service is started successfully.

You can set the snmp service to start automatically at boot, thus eliminating the trouble of manual startup.

Use the command: $ chkconfig snmpd on to set the snmpd service to start automatically at boot.

Then use the command: $ chkconfig --list | grep snmpd to check whether the setting has been successful.

4) Verify the snmp service

(1) Use the snmpwalk command to view the host name of the localhost of this machine

(2) Use the snmptranslate command, Check whether the snmp tool can use

(3) to test whether the remote host can obtain data.

我这里登陆了另外一台Linux主机，该主机也按照上面的步骤安装好snmp服务及snmp工具。通过这台主机，获取远端主机的数据，这时需指定远端主机的IP地址

修改 SNMP 配置文件

1）配置文件路径

2）修改配置文件

重启 SNMP 服务

snmp 服务名 snmpd.service

# 启动/停止/查看 snmp 服务
systemctl start/stop/status snmpd.service

# 开启/禁用 snmp 自启动服务
systemctl enable/disable snmpd.service

使用 SNMP 软件获取 服务器信息

1）SNMP 中比较重要的配置

• 读写设备的密码： 在 SNMP 中称为 读Community 和 写Community
  若使用 SNMP v3 协议版本，则密码设置比较复杂，需要密码配对

• 被读取的内容 ：类似于被读取的参数的寄存器/地址，在 SNMP 中称为 OID      

  • OID的描述方式：类似IP地址，如1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.1.1

• MIB文件：各厂商制作的，包含设备OID的配置文件

  • 利用 SNMP 调试软件加载 MIB 文件，即可快速调试，读写设备的相关信息

  • MIB 文件中包含丰富内容：参数、参数的描述(帮助/含义)、参数的类型(数据类型)、参数的 OID 地址等

  • 不同厂商可根据自己设备的特点，修改 MIB 文件，以添加专属的可用于 SNMP 协议的参数

  • 加载错误的 MIB 文件，则 MIB 文件中记录的 OID 可能在设备中查询不到返回值

2）使用的 MIB 文件
HOST-RESOURCE-MIB和UCD-SNMP

• HOST-RESOURCE-MIB用于查看主机(服务器)的基础状态信息
  主要包含.1.3.6.1.2.1.25中的信息，这部分内容大多数电脑、服务器都有

• UCD-SNMP Linux 和 Unix 系统通用的 MIB 描述文件
  主要包含.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021中的信息

3）使用的 SNMP 软件

4）常用的 OID 地址
