Configuring the Domino SNMP Agent for Linux

Complete these steps, once per platform, to configure the Domino® SNMP Agent for Linux™.

About this task

Before using the Domino SNMP Agent, make sure TCP/IP and SNMP are properly installed and configured on the server. To use the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, refer to Using NET-SNMP with the Domino SNMP Agent. Otherwise, verify that your Master SNMP Agent supports the SMUX protocol, per RFC 1227. Ensure that the Domino executable and the Domino data directories are in your search path.

Tip: If you are using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, the trap destinations and community names are configured in the /etc/net-snmpd.conf file. Otherwise, refer to the documentation for the master agent technology you are using. Configure appropriate trap destinations and community names for your remote management infrastructure.

The Domino SNMP Agent is set up to run automatically. This means that once the Domino SNMP Agent is configured, it is virtually always running, even when Domino is not. If you later upgrade Domino, stop the LNSNMP process before beginning the upgrade process.

Important: The following commands should be executed as the root user.

Procedure

1. Stop the LNSNMP process. Enter this command:

lnsnmp.sh stop

2. Stop the Master SNMP Agent. If you're using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, enter this command:

/etc/net-snmpd.sh stop

If you're not using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, refer to your Master SNMP Agent's documentation.

3. Configure the Master SNMP Agent to accept LNSNMP as an SMUX peer. If you are using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, this has already been done. Otherwise, refer to your Master SNMP Agent's documentation. The three parameters associated with SMUX authentication for LNSNMP are:

4. Start the Master SNMP Agent. If you're using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, enter this command:

/etc/net-snmpd.sh start

If you're not using the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, refer to your Master SNMP Agent's documentation.

5. Start the LNSNMP process. Enter this command:

lnsnmp.sh start

6. Do one of these:

For United Linux-based releases, such as SLES, enter these commands, changing the Domino executable path if necessary:
ln -f -s /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/linux/lnsnmp.sh /etc/init.d/lnsnmp
insserv /etc/init.d/lnsnmp
For Red Hat Linux releases enter these commands, changing the Domino executable path if necessary:
ln -f -s /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/linux/lnsnmp.sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/lnsnmp
