Installing the SNMP Agent on a Solaris SPARC

This procedure describes the installation of the SNMP Agent on a Solaris SPARC system.

Before you begin

If an SNMP Agent is already installed, you must first uninstall it before continuing. Please refer to the procedure Uninstalling the SNMP Agent on Solaris SPARC. If you are not sure if there is a previous version installed, check for one with the following command:

> /etc/srconf/exe/CSPAgent -v

If this command works, then there is an SNMP agent already installed. If snmpdx process or other SNMP processes are running, then stop the processes and uninstall them.

EXS SwitchKit must be installed and the LLC needs to run. Refer to the EXS SwitchKit Installation and Maintenance Guide for further information.
