问题
I am new to SNMP. As far as I know snmpd is a Linux daemon for SNMP which acts as SNMP agent. We can install it from the package snmpd. Now net-snmp also provides a SNMP agent.
Does net-snmp provide snmpd daemon as its agent, if so then what is the use in installing net-snmp if one already has installed snmpd (provided one needs the SNMP agent only)?
回答1:
The net-snmp suite comes in 3 Linux packages.
net-snmp package is the one which has the snmpd component mentioned in question.
The 3 Linux packages are:
- net-snmp (the snmpd agent and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc)
- net-snmp-utils (various utilities e.g. for interrogating SNMP agents, sending traps, etc )
- net-snmp-libs (runtime libraries)
See http://www.net-snmp.org/ for full details.
More detailed descriptions for each (package descriptions & file contents) follows:
net-snmp
yum info net-snmp
Summary : A collection of SNMP protocol tools and libraries
Description : SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for
: network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools:
: an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting
: information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP
: traps and a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP. This
: package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.
:
: You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,
: which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
