Configuring SNMP

  1. From our myelux.com portal, under eLux Software Packages, for your eLux version, under Add-On, download the package SNMP Environment and deploy it to the devices.

  2. If there is no /setup/snmp/snmpd.conf on the devices, transfer the configuration file snmpd.conf to the devices to /setup/snmp/snmpd.conf by using the Scout feature Files configured for transfer

    Or:

    Modify the terminal.ini file by using the Adding individual file entries feature of Scout. Example:

       
    File /setup/terminal.ini
    Section SNMPD
    Entry rocommunity
    Value secret
  3. Optionally, to define further SNMPD and SNMP Configuration Directives feature and modify the terminal.ini file under SNMPD. Examples:

    syscontact=[contact@sampletec.com] syslocation=testcenter doDebugging=1

    For further information on SNMPD Configuration Directives, see http://www.net-snmp.org.

The section SNMPD of the terminal.ini file is evaluated by the client and the file /setup/snmp/snmpd.local.conf is created. An existing /setup/snmp/snmpd.conf will be overwritten.

If the configuration file does not exist, the file /setup/snmp/snmpd.local.conf is created with default values.

Notes on configuring SNMP v3

  • When you define users (createUser), set a password with at least 8 characters.

  • For the authentication method, define authPriv or authNoPriv.

    Note:

    For SNMP v2, you can use noAuthNoPriv as the authentication method.
