SNMPTT does not REQUIRE the Perl module, but it is recommended. By enabling the Perl module, you will get the following benefits: Conversion of INTEGER values to enumeration tags (for example: Status is now OK instead of Status is now 1) Ability for traps passed from snmptrapdor loaded from the snmptt.conf files to contain symbolic OIDs such as linkDown and IF-MIB::linkUp Variable syntax, description and enums when converting a MIB file using snmpttconvertmib Unless Net-SNMP 5.1.1 or 5.0.8 / 5.

Install ActiveState ActivePerl and then the ActivePerl .ppm module included in the Net-SNMP binary available from the Net-SNMP web site. If you compiled your own version of Net-SNMP, see the perl/README document for instructions on compiling the Perl modules. Download the Net-SNMP 5.1.2+ source and compile using Cygwin as described in the Net-SNMP README.WIN32 file.

The Webmin Users and Groups module supports the encryption of passwords with the MD5 algorithm, if your system supports it. However, this depends on the Perl MD5 module, which can be downloaded from http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/MD5/MD5-1.7.tar.gz. Once downloaded, enter the following commands to install the module : gunzip MD5-1.7.tar.gz If you are using Webmin 0.83 or above, an even easier option is to use the Perl Modules module to make and install the MD5 module from CPAN.

Unfortunately, you cannot install these modules yourself, as they require root level access. However, just do drop us a mail with your domain name and we will install the necessary components for you at the soonest.

If you have no plans on using the Net-SNMP Perl module (see the next question), then any recent version of Net-SNMP or UCD-SNMP should be sufficient with the exception of Net-SNMP 5.1. Net-SNMP 5.1.1 and higher can be used. If you plan on using UCD-SNMP 4.2.3 (provided by Compaq for RedHat 7.2), then you must at least use a newer version of snmptrapd. If you plan on enabling the Net-SNMP Perl module, Net-SNMP v5.1.1 or higher is recommended. This will allow you to use all the features of snmptt.

snmperl was written by Guy Streeter (streeter@ingr.com), and was posted in late February 1993 to comp.protocols.snmp. It can be found archived at one of two (known) places: Host liasun3.epfl.ch Location: /pub/net/snmp FILE -rw-rw-r-- 3407 Aug 11 1992 snmperl.README FILE -rw-r--r-- 17678 Aug 11 1992 snmperl.tar.Z Here is the gist of the README: This directory contains the source code to add callable C subroutines to perl.

Download the Net-SNMP 5.1.2+ source and compile using MSVC++, MinGW or Cygwin as described in the Net-SNMP README.WIN32 file. This should create a working snmptrapd. See the question: How to I enable the Perl support for UCD-SNMP / Net-SNMP under Windows? Note: Net-SNMP 5.1.2 or higher is recommended if compiling under Windows as it contains the latest Windows specific compiling improvements.

A version of Perl greater than 5.004 is needed to run Soupermail, so check that your version's up to date by running the following at the command line: perl -v The latest versions of Perl can be downloaded from http://www.perl.com/ or, if you're running Windows NT, from http://www.activestate.com/.

GD now works with Win32, and can be installed using PPM (the Perl Package Manager). GD is also shipped with the Perl Resource Kit for Win32. This graphics library allows the creation and some manipulation of industry standard GIF format images.

First, make sure you're using /usr/local/bin/perl rather than /usr/bin/perl. Then, if the module still doesn't appear to be installed, contact help to request it.

You should take a few seconds to have a look through it and familiarise yourself with what it does though. Its not compulsory just a good idea.

http://www.cpan.org/ports/index.html is a current list of Perl binaries that we are aware of at this time. If you have a package for a platform, send us a URL. We do not endorse nor guarantee these packages nor do we store them locally on CPAN due to the potential size of the archive if we did. Perl module binaries for use with ActivePerl's PPM can be found at http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/.

Traps are not accepted by the module, however the events table for the switch is scanned. This table represents the traps that have been emitted by the switch.

Longer answer: In order to build Perl/Tk from source code you do need a recent version of perl, the Perl/Tk source code kit, a graphical user interface library such as Xlib, Presentation Manager, or Win32; a C or C++ compiler, and a make utility. In some rare cases Perl/Tk binaries are distributed for some platforms but that is more the exception than a general rule (see below). If you will be attempting to port Perl/Tk to your platfrom then you might want to consult the document at: http://w4.

By default, net-snmp is configured only to allow a really small amount of information to be accessed by the default community name of "public". The easiest way to change this is to find a line like: view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network device and their functions. It is not limited to TCP/IP network.
