RE: [nv-l] snmpd on AIX 5.2

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

Scott,
I had the same problem just today. I found this in the archive.
You need to run the command "snmpv3_ssw -1" which switches AIX from snmp ver 3 (the default) back to snmp ver1 which NetView likes.

Subject: [nv-l] snmpd on AIX 5.2

Me again.....

I am trying to get the snmp agent configured on some of our AIX 5.2
machines. I am not really familiar with the configuration on these machines.
I see that snmpd and snmpmibd are running at the same time. I also see that
there is a snmpd.conf and a snmpv3.conf file.

What I am trying to accomplish is this:

1.  I need to access all read only MIB data from any host. Right now if I
attempt a snmpwalk on the host all I get is " End of MIB."
2.  I need to make the RO community name other than public. For this
exercise lets just say "reboot". I believe I have this part working because
I get the response listed above on with the community name I have configured
in snmpdv3.conf.
3.  I need to send traps to my NV box "netview.pepsi.com"

That is basically it. Do I need to edit both config files and with what?

Does anyone have an example I can see? The documentation is the snmpd.conf
is pretty good, but the snmpv3.conf isn't as clear.

Thanks for any help,

Scott
