Q. Why does ucd-snmpd complain about security mode while it is
starting?
A. You need to check snmpd.conf for the following lines,
(a)
#
groupName
securityModel securityName
group notConfigGroup any
notConfigUser
—> “securityModel” field needs to be “v1” (or “v2”/...) instead of “any”
(b)
#
group
context sec.model sec.level
prefix read
write notif
access notConfigGroup
any
noauth
0
systemview none
none
—> “sec.Model” needs to be “v1” (or “v2”/...) instead of “any”
—> “prefix” field needs to be “prefix” instead of “0”
Q. Why can’t SNMP console get ASUS SNMP agent data?
A. You need to check whether the following programs or drivers are
started.
(a) asma driver: check by lsmod command
(b) asus_agent daemon: check by ps command
(c) snmpd daemon: starts by the snmpd command and can be
checked by the ps command; if your “/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf” is
wrong, snmpd will complain about that and may no start.
NOTE: The ASR function is based on the asus_agent daemon; so,
don’t kill the asus_agent process while the ASREnable=1 on /etc/
asus/asma.conf (/etc/asus is the default configuration path). If the
asus_agent does not exist while the ASREnable=1 on /etc/asus/
asma.conf, the ASR function will work abnormally, and then the system
will reboot randomly.
