The master SNMP agent defers queries to fio-snmp-agentxfor supported MIBs.

SNMP master agent
The fio-snmp-agentx, provided in the fio-utilpackage, requires an already-installed SNMP master agent. The SNMP master agent must support and be configured for AgentX connections. For more information, see the "AgentX Protocol Version 1 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2741.txt)."
The fio-snmp-agentxis tested and verified with Net-SNMP, which is the typical SNMP agent provided with most Linux distributions. Several agents are available that support this functionality. The following sections describe Net-SNMP.
Launching the SNMP master agent
Install the Net-SNMPpackage using the package manager for your version of Linux.
