SNMP is one of the most commonly used technologies when it comes to network monitoring. Bandwidth Monitoring programs like PRTG Network Monitor use it. But how does SNMP work? What are MIBs and OIDs? Read this short introduction into the world of SNMP!
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and consists of three key components: managed devices, agents, and network-management systems (NMSs). A managed device is a node that has an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. These devices can be routers and access servers, switches and bridges, hubs, computer hosts, or printers. MIB stands for Management Information Base and is a collection of information organized hierarchically. OIDs or Object Identifiers uniquely identify manged objects in a MIB hierarchy. SNMP version 1 was the initial development of the SNMP protocol. SNMP works on the basis that network management systems send out a request and the managed devices return a response. Here is a sample structure of an OID:
TUT:Writing a Dynamically Loadable Object - Net-SNMP Wiki. This page describes how to build extension for Net-SNMP as shared objects, binary files that can be loaded by the SNMPd daemon directly and are executed as part of the daemon. This differs from the concept introduced in Writing a MIB Module in that the extension resides in its own binary file and is loaded by the agent at runtime. This adds the flexibility to add new functionality / MIBs after the agent has been compiled, enabling you to extent the daemon provided by a binary package without the need to roll your own modified package.
Yet another possibility is offered by Subagents, see Writing a Subagent: Subagents are separate processes that do not share memory, file descriptors and so on with the daemon and must use interprocess communication (IPC) to communicate with the daemon. Writing dynamically loadable objects is interesting because you will have the entire API provided by Net-SNMP at your disposal, for example a caching infrastructure. Prerequisites $ . Initialization See also. The Cuddletech Guide to SNMP Programming. TUT:snmptranslate - Net-SNMP Wiki.
The SNMP protocol tends to work with numeric OIDs and raw values. One of the main roles of the MIB files is to convert these into more meaningful textual names and sensibly formatted values. While most of the Net-SNMP command-line applications can control how the results of an SNMP query are displayed, there is one tool (snmptranslate) which can be used standalone, simply displays information drawn from the MIB files themselves. See TUT:Using and loading MIBS. OID Conversion In its simplest form, snmptranslate takes a numeric OID and displays the corresponding textual MIB name: % snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 It can also perform the reverse translation, taking the textual MIB name and displaying the numeric OID. . % snmptranslate -On SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 There are several other ways of displaying an OID, which are described in TUT:Customized_Output_Formats.

Content-type: text/html Section: Net-SNMP (5)Updated: 08 Feb 2002IndexReturn to Main Contents snmpd.conf - configuration file for the Net-SNMP SNMP agent The Net-SNMP agent uses one or more configuration files to control its operation and the management information provided.
These files (snmpd.conf and snmpd.local.conf) can be located in one of several locations, as described in the snmp_config(5) manual page. The (perl) application snmpconf can be used to generate configuration files for the most common agent requirements. See the snmpconf(1) manual page for more information, or try running the command: snmpconf -g basic_setup There are a large number of directives that can be specified, but these mostly fall into four distinct categories: those controlling who can access the agent those configuring the information that is supplied by the agent those controlling active monitoring of the local system those concerned with extending the functionality of the agent. snmpd -H agentgroup {GROUP|#GID}
TUT:Using and loading MIBS - Net-SNMP Wiki. Using local MIBs The net-snmp tools can translate numeric object identifies (OIDs) into textual object identifiers using the MIB description files. The net-snmp toolkit provides a few of the standard MIBs, but certainly doesn't contain all the MIBs known to man. First off, you should know about the paths that the tools load MIBs from. By default, it loads things from the following list of directories: $HOME/.snmp/mibs /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs Note that many distributions change the default paths. To find out which directories are used on your system, run the following command: net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs (if that doesn't work because your distribution didn't repackage net-snmp-config you can use this instead:) snmptranslate -Dinit_mib .1.3 2>&1 |grep MIBDIR So, lets say you have a MIB called CISCO-RHINO-MIB that you want parsed (it really exists, and I particularly liked the name so I'm using it in the tutorial).
Nope, it doesn't. Wait a minute... Success! So, there you have it. Net-Snmp Tutorial.
