monitoring dell open manage via smux

Hello all,

 

I'm trying to monitor dell open manage oid's on a RHEL3 server. I allready have installed and configured the net-snmpd (snmpd.conf). I have added a couple of directives and everything is working fine.

Allthough i still have one major problem. I cant read dell related oid's.

I have read lots of articles on this forum and all over the internet about how to do this.

 

I found out that the dell open manage-agent needs to connect with the snmpd-agent via the smux protocol.

Therefor i added the line : 

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1 (I 'am using a private community name in my snmpd.conf file, do i need to add this community name in this line. Differently formulated: Does the dell open manage-agent need to verify itself by a community name?)

Offcourse this isn't working for me, :(.

 

Can somebody tell me if i need to do something else to.

 

Im still got some questions unanswered for myself.

Those are:

1) Do i need to add an extra module in snmpd for smux to work. Is the smux functionality an extension. Do i only have to recompile my snmpd(I think the new net-snmp allready has this inside), or do i need to download this module.

 

2) Does anybody have a working config file for me to look at.

 

3) Also when i do a netstat -anp i should see a connection from dcsnmp32d to snmpd on port 199:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:41650         127.0.0.1:199           ESTABLISHED 26906/dcsnmp32d
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:199           127.0.0.1:41650         ESTABLISHED 3804/snmpd

but again i dont.

 

I hope somebody can help me connect to dell open manage and looking forward hearing from someone.
