Net Snmp Examples

I was trying to use the check_ifoperstatus, but have the folowing error

RPM resource perl-Net-SNMP. The Net::SNMP module implements an object oriented interface to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Perl applications can use the module to retrieve or update information on a remote host using the SNMP protocol.
To install a Perl module. Suppose that you wish to install the module Data::Compare. Method (package manager) If Perl module you need has been packaged for the operating system you are using then installing it is simply a matter of invoking the package manager.

Den 19:04, Eric Smith skrev: > Is there an option that you provide during 'make install' to control > where the PERL SNMP modules are installed? No, it is controlled by the perl that it detects during configure. Perl modules is tricky stuff:-) And parallel installs is not at all easy. Why can't you just use the perl that your OS.

And that line is use Net::SNMP;
Im trying to install Net::SNMP on Ubuntu Server 12.04 with the following command:

Also i was trying this

'cpan> install Net::SNMP' and 'install Bundle::CPAN'
And have the following errors:

QUICK INSTRUCTIONS

1) Run ./configure

(type './configure --help' for a quick usage summary.)

(--prefix=PATH will change the default /usr/local installation path.)

(see 'Compilers and Options' on changing the compiler to use)

2) Optionally edit include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h

(due to prompting done by the configure script, this is very rarely

necessary.)

3) make

4) Run the next command as root:

5) make install

6) configure the agent

(either using 'snmpconf' or by crafting an snmpd.conf file manually.

The file 'EXAMPLE.conf' may be a suitable starting point)

Note: By default, everything will be installed in /usr/local.

(see below for more instructions)

Net-SNMP Specific Information

As of UCD-SNMP V3.3.1 the configuration files are now looked for in

$(prefix)/share/snmp, where ($prefix) is defined as the value passed

to the --prefix argument of the configure script, or /usr/local if

undefined. In version 3.0.3 till 3.3, the files were kept in

$(prefix)/lib/snmp

Optional features to pass to configure for Net-SNMP can be obtained by

running configure --help.

LONG (but you should read these) INSTRUCTIONS

The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for

various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses

those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.

It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent

definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that

you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file

`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up

reconfiguring, a file `config.log' containing compiler output

(useful mainly for debugging `configure') and a file `configure-summary'

containing the summary displayed at the end of the `configure' run.

The file `include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h' is also generated

at this time. It contains IMPORTANT information such as the location

of log and configuration files. In some special cases you may need to

modify this file but it is prefererable to work out a way of getting

`configure' to set things up for your particular environment.

As the `configure' invocation often gets lengthy and difficult to

type or if you have several different ways you want to configure a

system, you may want to create a shell script containing your invocation.

If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try

to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail

diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can

be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'

contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program

called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change

it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type

`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're

using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type

`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute

`configure' itself.

Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some

messages telling which features it is checking for. When it

completes it prints a short message (also available in configure-summary)

indicating what functionality will be available when compiled.

2. If necessary, edit include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h (see above).

3. Type `make' to compile the package.

4. Type `make test' which runs a variety of tests to see what functionality

has been incorporated and if it works.

5. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and

documentation.

6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the

source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the

files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for

a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.

7. You can remove the application by typing `make uninstall'.

There may be additional installation issues discussed in the

README's for various platforms such as README.solaris.

Installing the Perl/SNMP Module

The Perl/SNMP Module is now bundled with the net-snmp package

(which includes other Net-SNMP specific modules as well), all of which

are located in the net-snmp/perl directory. The Perl package provides

a high level abstract interface to the functionality found in the

Net-SNMP libraries and demon applications.

It is recommended you install the perl modules as you build the

Net-SNMP package. The configure script can be run as follows to

automatically find perl and use it to install the perl modules:

./configure --with-perl-modules

If you wish to use the embedded perl support available in the

Net-SNMP agent (and starting in Net-SNMP 5.2, the trap receiver),

then use the following option instead:

./configure --enable-embedded-perl --enable-shared

Starting with Net-SNMP 5.4, configure enables embedded Perl and the

Perl modules by default when possible unless explicitly disabled.

If you wish to build the perl modules by hand, *install Net-SNMP

first* and then change directories to the perl subdirectory and:

Run:

cd perl

perl Makefile.PL

make

make test

make install (as root)

Compilers and Options

Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that

the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'

initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using

a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like

this:

CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure

Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:

env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure

Compiling For Multiple Architectures

You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the

same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their

own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that

supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the

directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run

the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the

source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.

If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'

variable, there is a `maketarget' script that will generate a symlink'ed

shadow-directory for the object files. Do a `sh maketarget', then `cd' into

targets/`config.guess` and do the configuration and installation.

Installation Names

By default, `make install' will install the package's files in

`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an

installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the

option `--prefix=PATH'.

You can specify separate installation prefixes for

architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you

give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use

PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.

Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed

with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the

option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

Optional Features

Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to

`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.

They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE

is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The

`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the

package recognizes.

For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually

find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,

you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and

`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

Specifying the System Type

There may be some features `configure' can not figure out

automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package

will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints

a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the

`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system

type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:

CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM

See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If

`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't

need to know the host type.

If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also

use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will

produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of

system on which you are compiling the package.

Sharing Defaults

If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,

you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives

default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.

`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then

`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the

`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.

A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.

Operation Controls

`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it

operates.

`--cache-file=FILE'

Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of

`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for

debugging `configure'.

`--help'

Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.

`--quiet'

`--silent'

`-q'

Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.

`--srcdir=DIR'

Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually

`configure' can determine that directory automatically.

`--version'

Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'

script, and exit.

`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
