This command creates the user "myuser" with a password of "my_password" (and uses MD5 and
DES for protection). The ‘net-snmp-config’ script will also add a line to your snmpd.conf file to
let that user have read/write access to the agent. You may want to change this in your
snmpd.conf file (see the snmpd.conf manual page). Run net-snmp-config --help for more
information about it.
Start the agent and test your setup:
service snmpd start or /usr/local/sbin/snmpd or you can reboot the unit
Note: Wait a few seconds. It will start running in the background and return you to the shell
command prompt.
The tflex unit is configured to work in unidirectional ‘read-only’ mode. There are ‘gets’ and
‘traps’, but no sets. At this time the unit does not support transport layer secure SNMP. At this
time the unit does not support transport layer secure SNMP.
For hardened units, SNMPv2 should be disabled since there is no authentication needed to access
the SNMP information. The community group ‘tsc’ should be removed or commented out from
the /mod/etc/snmpd.conf file. Simply add a # in front of the rocommunity tsc line to comment
out the user group ‘tsc,’ thus disabling SNMPv2 access.
