Hello,

I´m trying to get some informations about my
aix-boxes with snmp. I´ve configured snmpv3.conf,
but I can´t get access to the

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ibm.ibmProd

subtree. Only if I activate the defaultView and
default-community (public!), it works.

My config:
VACM_VIEW group2View 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191 - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View system - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View interfaces - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View udp - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View snmp - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View tcp - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View icmp - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View internet - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View enterprises - included -
VACM_VIEW group2View 1.3.6.1.2.1.25 - included -
VACM_ACCESS group2 - - noAuthNoPriv SNMPv1 group2View - group2View -
COMMUNITY <xxx> <yyy> noAuthNoPriv <my mgmt-ws> 255.255.255.255 -

Any suggestions?
Where I can put informations like syscontact, syslocation etc..?

Regards

The problem may be that the daemons that provide this information cannot register with the SNMP daemon under your current configuration. The aixmibd, hostmibd, and snmpmibd all attempt to register with the SNMP daemon with a community of "public" by default. One method would be to add statements in /etc/snmpdv3.conf for a community of "public" which is limited to the localhost IP address. A second method would be to start the aixmibd, hostmibd and snmpmibd with the "-c COMMUNITY" command line argument. The community string may be visible in the output of "ps" command if done this way though.

1. ls -l /usr/sbin/snmpd

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 9 Feb 10 2009 /usr/sbin/snmpd -> snmpdv3ne

rm /usr/sbin/snmpd
ln -s /usr/sbin/snmpd /usr/sbin/snmpdv3ne

Modify this file.

vi /etc/snmpdv3.conf

1. exclude aixmibd managed MIBs from the default view

#VACM_VIEW defaultView 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191 - excluded - (Default except #)
