NetFunctional is about to release an SNMP based app, so I’ve been testing it against all sorts of various devices. Since OSX is Unix/BSD based, it can be an SNMP agent too, once you configure and enable it. Here’s how:
- Configure SNMP
- sudo vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
- Find the line
rocommunity public default .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 - Replace it with (note: you may wish to change ‘public’ to something less default):
rocommunity public default - Save and exit
Then simply enable SNMP to be loaded all the time (this works on Snow Leopard and Lion)
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.net-snmp.snmpd.plist
