bash: snmpwalk: command not found

no1san · 09-26-2010, 04:04 AM

Hi,

I followed this tutorial:
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/snmp.htm

After this tutorial I did:

root@web1:~# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Restarting network management services: snmpd.

As far as I think evrything went ok.
I want to test my config with:
snmpwalk localhost -c public -v1

I get this error:
bash: snmpwalk: command not found

Already used the search forum and google but I have no idea.
Any idea how to solve this error message?

Welcome to LQ

Code:

whereis snmpwalk

Kind regards

Try apt-get install snmp. That program appears to be in a different package from the daemon itself.

(Hint, the apt-file program is very helpful in finding out which package contains which file.)

But will it mess up my current config? (/etc/snmp)

tutorial = apt-get install snmpd - done
apt-get install snmp - in progress

No. It just installs some related programs, such as snmpwalk.

# apt-file show snmp

Description: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) applications
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a framework
for the exchange of management information between agents (servers)
and clients.
.
The Net-SNMP applications are a collection of command line clients
for issuing SNMP requests to agents.

ETA:

Installing and uninstalling packages almost never affects your configuration files, although it does occasionally ask you if you want to replace a default configuration file if it's been modified. Just be careful not to say yes unless you know what you're doing.

Not sure if it is related:
WARNING: UDP Ping Error: gethostbyname failed for domain.nl

How can I test the udp ping from server 1 to domain.nl ?
Is it related to the snmp setting?

Local vlan is open in the config from snmp.
