Help on Cluster Management > General Settings > SNMP Monitoring
The following information and controls are available at .
- Enable SNMP Service
- In the SNMP Service Settings, click the Enable SNMP Service check box. The SNMP service is enabled by default.
- Download MIB Modules
- Download the MIB file you want to use (base or trap). Follow the download process that is specific to your browser. Copy MIB files to a directory where your SNMP tool can find them, such as /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ or /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs, depending on the SNMP tool that you use. To have Net-SNMP tools read the MIBs to provide automatic name-to-OID mapping, add -m All to the command, as in the following example: snmpwalk -v2c -c public -m All <node IP> isilon.
