UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi all,

I am trying to enable SNMP port 161 on my solaris 9 machine, I have started the process and here is the output of ps -ef

# ps -ef | grep snmp
root 83 1 0 Sep 27 ? 0:00 /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/bin/atmsnmpd -n
root 333 1 0 Sep 27 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/dmi/snmpXdmid -s sunntp01
root 24091 1 0 13:58:20 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx -y -c /etc/snmp/conf

However, when I tried to connect to port 161 via telnet
# telnet localhost 161
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

It is normal? I trying to add this machine to a monitoring server for alerting monitoring purposes. Please help. Thanks.

I have installed the newest netsnmp package in /usr/local

but when I start the SNMP process again. it said

# /usr/local/sbin/snmpd
ld.so.1: snmpd: fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

try the download - OpenSSL available at

http://www.sunfreeware.com/programli...html#openssl7c

thanks man, however, it works but when I do

# telnet localhost 161
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

is it normal? I thought that port 161 would be opened and listen to any requests.

Hi,

You cannot telnet to the snmp port because its UDP and not TCP.

In order to test it, you could use snmpget command from the net-snmp package (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tuto...s/snmpget.html).

Hope it helped...
