ubuntu snmp

I've install cacti to a server which will poll the data from linux box, installed snmp.

To test polling data from cacti to linux box,

#snmpwalk -c public -v 2c [ip-address]

In ubuntu if you want to allow other host to view this data you need to modified

"/etc/default/snmp "

SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid [ip-address]'

gentoo SNMP
