SNMP details for Linux
The fio-snmp-agentx SNMP agent is an RFC 2741-compliant AgentX subagent. It can work with any
RFC-compliant SNMP agent, such as Net-SNMP.
The master SNMP agent defers queries to fio-snmp-agentx for supported MIBs.

SNMP master agent
The fio-snmp-agentx, provided in the fio-util package, requires an already-installed SNMP master
agent. The SNMP master agent must support and be configured for AgentX connections. For more
information, see the "AgentX Protocol Version 1 (
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2741.txt )."
The fio-snmp-agentx is tested and verified with Net-SNMP, which is the typical SNMP agent provided
with most Linux distributions. Several agents are available that support this functionality. The following
sections describe Net-SNMP.
Launching the SNMP master agent
Install the Net-SNMP package using the package manager for your version of Linux.
