MIB File Location
After the SNMP Subagent is installed on the server, the MIB files (basebrd5.mib,
INTELLAN.MIB, and others) will be located in /usr/share/snmp/mibs and /usr/local/snmpsa/mibs.
The MIB files can also be found on the Intel® Server Manager 8 CD at
\ism\Software\linux\32bit\snmp\mibs\. In order to use
net-snmp utilities such as SNMPGET on a
Linux console to retrieve data from the SNMP subagent on a server, copy the MIB file to the Linux
console, and run the command "export MIBS=ALL" from a terminal window to make the MIB
information available to the utilities. Note that third party SNMP-based management clients may
have specific requirements for MIB file location. Consult your client software documentation for
any such configuration requirements.
Linux Settings for Successful Remote Installation to a Linux Server
If you will be installing the SNMP Subagent to a remote Linux server, the following
operating system settings and user account must be in place on the target machine or the remote
installation will fail. Refer to the OS vendor's documentation for instructions.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) must be enabled. This feature is disabled by
default.
1. Check whether FTP is enabled using the appropriate command:
For Red Hat EL 3.0 AS
chkconfig --list vsftpd
2. If FTP is not enabled, enable it using the appropriate commands:
cd /usr/sbin
For RedHat EL 3.0 AS
chkconfig vsftpd on
3. Ensure the FTP service is started by going to the Red Hat > System Settings > Server Settings >
Services menu to find the vsftpd service or Footprint > Programs > System > Service
Configuration to find the wu-ftpd service. Select the vsftpd or wu-ftpd service and click on the
Restart button in the Services configuration.
