Task 2— Exploring SNMP Capabilities by Using UCD-SNMP

About Using UCD-SNMP

Installing UCD-SNMP and Downloading Cisco MIBs

To install UCD-SNMP and download MIBs from the Cisco FTP site, follow these steps.

Note You can also download individual MIBs from

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml

Step 1 Go to http://ucd-snmp.ucdavis.edu

Step 2 Download, compile, and install UCD-SNMP. In this case study, the UCD-SNMP commands are installed in the /usr/local/bin directory.

Step 3 From the Cisco FTP site, download the MIBs into the /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs directory on your Solaris workstation. By using the following Unix commands, you can copy the entire bundled v1 MIB tar file from ftp.cisco.com.

cd /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs

ftp ftp.cisco.com

cd /pub/mibs/v1

bin

get v1.tar.gz

exit

Step 4 Decompress and untar the files in the /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs directory:

gzip -d v1.tar.gz

tar -xvf v1.tar

Note There are many MIBs in the tar file that you may not use. Regardless, Cisco recommends you keep all the MIBs on file to support your evolving network needs.

Exploring SNMP MIBs for Dial Netwo rks

To explore the MIBs for a Cisco IOS device by using SNMP CLI commands, follow the steps in this section. Poll OID variables by using the commands snmpget, snmpwalk, and snmptable.

Note This section assumes you already have a basic understanding of UCD-SNMP and know how to use its CLI commands.

Step 1 To determine the last restart reason for the router, enter the snmpget command and the relevant OID. In the following example, the restart reason is “reload.”

onionring:~$ snmpget travis-nas-01.the.net 5urf5h0p .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.2.0 Counter32 (is a reserved word): At line 6 in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-SMI-V1SMI.my

Gauge32 (is a reserved word): At line 7 in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-SMI -V1SMI.my

Integer32 (is a reserved word): At line 8 in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-S

Did not find 'mib-2' in module RFC1213-MIB (/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/IANAifTyp e-MIB-V1SMI.my)
