Sommaire
Introduction
SNMP configuration on Linux may be complex.
Many documentation exist on Internet but they describe so many different methods it makes it difficult to identify THE best way to do it.
This article will try to identify a kind of procedure to install and configure the service.

Useful tools
Install and configure the service
Note: for the moment let's focus on SNMPv3. SNMPv2 should be documented later on.
Ubuntu / Debian
Useful packages:
- snmp
- snmpd
- libsnmp-dev
- snmp-mibs-downloader
Dependencies:
- libsnmp-base
- libsnmp35:amd64
Packages installation:
apt-get install snmp apt-get install snmpd apt-get install libsnmp-dev apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
Service stop:
systemctl stop snmpd.service
Service configuration:
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ... sysLocation <location description> sysContact <your sysops contact> ... agentaddress 127.0.0.1,[::1],<IP of your server> ... net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user
Note regarding the use of MIBS downloader: to use it, comment the line in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf:
# mibs :
Note regarding the user creation: not sure this behavior is systematic but you may have to add such a line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf for your user to be properly created at service restart. This line may be deleted from /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf after service restart.
createUser username (MD5|SHA|SHA-512|SHA-384|SHA-256|SHA-224) authpassphrase [DES|AES] [privpassphrase]
Service start:
systemctl start snmpd.service
Note: think about allowing flows on the firewall you use on or around the system.
