This release includes a NetSNMP version 5.1 binary and associated scripts and
config files for use with Pebble v.39. See
http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/ for more details about Pebble.
Place the following files in the Pebble mount directory before creating your
Compact Flash for the Soekris device (you may also *scp* these onto the device
directly if so inclined. See http://socalfreenet.org/node/view/228
for instructions)
/mnt/pebble/etc/init.d/snmpd
# this
is the startup script
/mnt/pebble/ro/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
# this is the snmpd configuration file
/mnt/pebble/ro/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf # this is
the NetSNMP persistent data store
/mnt/pebble/sbin/snmpd
#
the executable
and create the following symbolic links:
mkdir /mnt/pebble/etc/snmp
cd /mnt/pebble/etc/snmp
ln -s /rw/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf snmpd.conf
mkdir -p /mnt/pebble/var/net-snmp
cd /mnt/pebble/var/net-snmp/
ln -s /rw/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf snmpd.conf
cd /mnt/pebble/var/
ln -s /rw/var/log/snmpd.log snmpd.log
Please use the init.d/snmp script to start/stop/restart snmpd. These steps
require storing information in the read-only file system, and the system is
temporarily set to read-write.
This release supports all three versions of SNMP including the auth/priv
features of SNMPv3. By default the following users are available for SNMPv3:
Av3Test SHA Av3TestPW
# auth only using SHA
APv3Test MD5 APv3TestPW DES
# auth using MD5 privacy using DES
Av3TestMD5 MD5 Av3TestMD5PW #
auth only using MD5
Av3TestSHA SHA Av3TestSHAPW #
auth only using SHA
To add a new SNMPv3 user, add a line similar to this:
createUser APv3Test MD5 APv3TestPW DES APv3TestPW
to the var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf file.
You also need to add a line like this:
group v3PrivGroup usm APv3Test
to the etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file.
Please see the NetSNMP documentation at http://www.net-snmp.org/
for more details about how to set up NetSNMP configuration files.
The configuration files that ship with this release also support "read"
authorization for SNMPv2. This allows you to continue to use tools like MRTG to
monitor the nework. Remove the comment from the line:
#com2sec RW default private
in the etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file if you want to allow SNMPv2 writes. You should
probably change the community string values in the com2sec lines if you intend
to use SNMPv2.
This release includes MIB support for monitoring MadWiFi and HostAP adapter
cards using the AvantCom private 802.11 MIB. Also included in this module is
support for the standard IEEE 802.11 MIB. If you are interestd in seeing the
kind of information that is available from this module, take a minute to look
at the Sample Management Program.
