By this time, you should understand what an SNMP agent is: it's nothing more than software that lives on the device you want to monitor. It responds to requests from the NMS and generates traps. This chapter discusses how to configure agents. It starts by defining some standard configuration parameters that are common to all SNMP agents, and then goes into some advanced parameters you might run into when configuring your equipment. The bulk of this chapter walks through the configuration for a number of common devices, paying attention to security issues. |
