Configuring the Domino SNMP Agent for Linux
Follow the steps below, once per platform, to configure the Domino SNMP Agent for Linux.

Note Before using the Domino SNMP Agent, make sure TCP/IP and SNMP are properly installed and configured on the server. If you are using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP its source should have been configured and built with "--with-mib-modules=smux" set. If you are not using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP verify your Master SNMP Agent supports the SMUX protocol, per RFC 1227. Also, make sure that the Domino executable and the Domino data directories are in your search path.

Tip If you are using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP the trap destinations and community names are configured in the /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file. Otherwise, refer to the documentation for the master agent technology you are using. You will want to configure appropriate trap destinations and community names for your remote management infrastructure.

Note The Domino SNMP Agent is set up to run automatically. This means that once the Domino SNMP Agent is configured, it is virtually always running, even when Domino is not. If you later upgrade Domino you should stop the LNSNMP process before beginning the upgrade process.

Note All the following commands should be executed as the root user.

1. Stop the LNSNMP process. Enter this command:


2. Stop the Master SNMP Agent. If you’re using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP enter this command:
3. Configure the Master SNMP Agent to accept LNSNMP as an SMUX peer. If you’re using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP add the following line to /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf:
4. Start the Master SNMP Agent. If you’re using UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP enter this command:
5. Start the LNSNMP process. Enter this command:
6. Arrange for LNSNMP to be restarted after a reboot. Enter these commands, changing the Domino executable path and default run levels if necessary:
You have completed the Linux-specific portion of the Domino SNMP Agent configuration. You should now follow the instructions found in Completing the Configuration of the Domino SNMP Agent.
