6.4. SNMP RSA Plugin

The SNMP RSA plugin is an SNMP based interface to IBM's Remote Supervisor Adapter hardware. Technical information about RSA is best found at the RSA Overview Page.

This plugin is called snmp_rsa in the OpenHPI tree, and will be referenced by the name libsnmp_rsa in all OpenHPI configuration files.

6.4.1. Prerequisites

The snmp_rsa plugin is built by default in the OpenHPI build process. To disable the building of the snmp_rsa module, add the configure flag --disable-snmp_rsa during the configure process.

snmp_rsa relies on Net-SNMP >= 5.0. Most testing has been done with >= 5.0.7 so the latest version available for your distribution is recommended.

The snmp_rsa plugin is function complete with this release but has not been fully unit tested. If you discover bugs please contact the OpenHPI team.

6.4.2. Configuration

Below is an example configuration stanza:

plugin libsnmp_rsa

handler libsnmp_rsa {
          community = "x440public"
          host = "10.0.0.130"
          entity_root = "{ROOT,0}{SYSTEM_CHASSIS,1}"
}
