Goal

How To Set Community String To Any Desired (custom) String.

[ LSI SNMP Agent is installed as a sub-agent of the SMA agent. On Solaris, you need to edit
'/etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf' file and add the lines mentioned in the FIX section ]

Solution

@Community String "Public" Will be persistent by default unless it is changed in snmpd.conf file To achieve this goal Follow the below steps.

Solution or Workaround

1. Stop the lsi agent and SMA

a. [ /etc/init.d/lsi_mrdsnmpd stop ]
b. [ svcadm disable sma ]

2. Edit the Snmp Configuration File

a.
# vi /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf ## Make sure to have a clean copy of snmpd.conf file backedup

b.
Press Shift+g ## To go to the bottom of the file

c.
Add below three lines if needed or just add trap community [ #man snmpd.conf ]
trapcommunity testing
trapsink 127.0.0.1
informsink xx.xxxx.xxx.xxx ## Ip Address of a host to receive traps 10.178.240.149

d. save exit

3. Edit sas_TrapDestination.conf and sas_ir_TrapDestination.conf

a. #vi /etc/lsi_mrdsnmp/sas/sas_TrapDestination.conf
#################################################
# Agent Service needs the IP addresses to sent trap
# The trap destination may be specified in this file or
# using snmpd.conf file. Following indicators can be set
# on "TrapDestInd" to instruct the agent to pick the IPs
# as the destination.
# 1 - IPs only from snmpd.conf
# 2 - IPs from this file only
# 3 - IPs from both the files
#################################################
TrapDestInd 1 [ Select Option 1 Only ]

Repeat the same steps for sasir_TrapDestination.conf [ path: /etc/lsi_mrdsnmp/sasir/sas_ir_TrapDestination.conf ]

Save & Exit

4. Open another terminal to monitor the trap, Command to monitor is :
bash-3.00# /usr/sfw/sbin/snmptrapd -P -f udp:162

5. Start the LSI agent
To start the lsi agent, issue the below command. SMA service would be started automatically
bash-3.00# /etc/init.d/lsi_mrdsnmpd start

Note: Option 2 and 3 in the TrapDestination.Conf file are dummies and has no effect
