Net-SNMP and HP/UX B10.20

For some reason it took me a while to find pre-compiled binaries of Net-SNMP for HP/UX. This HOWTO is from Cacti but lists the locations of all Net-SNMP binary packages one could ever want. This includes AIX, Solaris and HP/UX. Enjoy!

Solaris 10 and Net-SNMP

So I re-learned something about SNMP on Solaris today. I say re-learned since this is one of those things I always have to Google for and is precisely the raison d'etre for this blog. I re-learned how to turn off Sun's default SNMP daemon on Solaris 10 so I could start up the Net-SNMP daemon compiled for Solaris. Here's how:

/etc/init.d/init.sma stop

This stops and disables the System Management Agent as per this section in the Solaris System Management Agent Administration Guide on Sun's site.

With the default SNMP daemon dead and disabled, you can start up the Net-SNMP daemon using its own init script.

Enjoy!
