Installation

Net-SNMP Master Agent

The sybase SNMP Subagent uses the Agent X protocol for extending the

capabilities of a master agent. It works with any master agent that implements

the Agent X protocol. Included with this subagent is a distribution of the Net-

SNMP master agent. This is a very feature-rich master agent available through

the public domain. More information on it can be found

at http://www.net-

snmp.org

. The Sybase subagent was implemented and tested against version

5.0.1 of the Net-SNMP master agent.

Note Mac OS X Server 10.2 ships with version 4.2.3 of the Net-SNMP agent

already installed. This version does not work correctly with Agent X

extensions. Future releases of OS X may automatically include the newer

version of Net-SNMP making its installation unnecessary.

To install the Net-SNMP master agent, see the Readme.txt file included in its

distribution. Once the Net-SNMP agent is configured and installed, edit

/System/Library/StartupItems/SNMP/SNMP to add the parameter “

-x 705”

which enables the Agent X extension. When you are finished, the file should

look like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Start net-snmp
