Installing SNMP Agent on Solaris Systems

Download the latest version of SNMP using the following URL:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/OldFiles/ucd-snmp/4.2.6/

Extract the file using following command:
tar -zxvf ucd-snmp-4.2.6.tar.gz

To install SNMP, follow the steps given below:

1. Login as root user.
2. Execute the command to set the path of the C compiler:
   export PATH=<gcc path>:$PATH
3. Execute the following four commands from the directory where you have extracted the ucd-snmp:
   • ./configure --prefix=<directory_name> --with-mib-modules="host"
     
     directory_name is the directory to install SNMP agent. Preferably choose a directory under /root. The directories /usr and /local might contain the files of an older version of SNMP and so do not choose these directories to ensure proper installation.
   • make
   • umask 022
   • make install

This completes the installation process. To configure SNMP agents respond to SNMP requests, refer to Configuring SNMP agents.
