Configuring the snmpd.conf File

By default, you can run the SNMP queries (walk, get) from any remote machine without any changes to the snmpd.conf file. To quickly add a new community and client access, perform these steps:

1.

Stop the SMA service by running the following command:

# svcadm disable svc:/application/management/sma:default

2.

Add read-only and read/write community names.

a.

Add a read-only community name and client/hostname/ipaddress under SECTION: Access Control Setup in the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file, as shown in the following excerpt.

#################################################

# SECTION: Access Control Setup

# This section defines who is allowed to talk to

# your running SNMP Agent.

# rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access

# community name

# arguments: community

# [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]

# rocommunity snmpclient 172.28.157.149

#################################################

*NOTE  In Solaris 11 x86, add a read-only community name and client/hostname/ipaddress under "SECTION: Access Control Setup" in the /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf file as shown in the preceding excerpt.

b.

Add a read/write community name and client/hostname/ipaddress under SECTION: Access Control Setup in /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file, as shown in the following excerpt.

#################################################

# SECTION: Access Control Setup

# This section defines who is allowed to talk to your

# running snmp agent.

# rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access

# community name

# arguments: community

# [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]

# rwcommunity snmpclient 172.28.157.149

#################################################

*NOTE  In Solaris 11 x86, add a read-only community name and client/hostname/ipaddress under SECTION: Access Control Setup in the /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf file as shown in the preceding excerpt.

3.

Start the SMA service by using the following command:

# svcadm enable svc:/application/management/sma:default

*NOTE  Refer to the command man snmpd.conf for more information about configuring the snmpd.conf file.
