.SH "NAME"

snmp-bridge-mib \- provide Linux bridge information via SNMP

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.HP \w'\fBsnmp\-bridge\-mib\fR\ 'u

\fBsnmp\-bridge\-mib\fR {bridge}

.SH "ARGUMENTS"

.PP

The following arguments are required:

.PP

\fBbridge\fR

.RS 4

The name of the Linux bridge for which you want to provide information via SNMP, e\&.g\&. br0\&.

.RE

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP

The snmp\-bridge\-mib is an extension to net\-snmp\&. It collects information about a bridge in a Linux system and exports them for query from other (remote) systems for management purposes\&.

.SH "CONFIGURATION:"

.PP

The preferred method of snmp\-bridge\-mib to attach to net\-snmp is agentx\&. For this to work, you will have to add the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd\&.conf,

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf

    master agentx

.fi

.if n \{\

.RE

.\}

.PP

restart snmpd and start snmp\-bridge\-mib\&. snmp\-bridge\-mib will then connect to the running snmpd daemon\&.

.PP

Another way of attaching snmp\-bridge\-mib to is to run it as an embedded perl module\&. You have to add

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf

    perl do "path to location of snmp\-bridge\-mib"

.fi

.if n \{\

.RE

.\}

.PP

and restart snmpd\&.

.SH "EXAMPLE:"

.PP

Follow the instructions in this manpage and type

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf

    perl /usr/bin/snmp\-bridge\-mib br0

.fi

.if n \{\

.RE

.\}

.PP

You\'ll get the following output:

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf

     registering at \&.1\&.3\&.6\&.1\&.2\&.1\&.17

     running as a subagent\&.

     dot1qbridge agent started\&.

     NET\-SNMP version 5\&.4\&.2\&.1 AgentX subagent connected

.fi

.if n \{\

.RE

.\}

.PP

Now it\'s time for a first test:

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf

    $ export MIBS=+BRIDGE\-MIB

    $ snmpwalk localhost \&.1\&.3\&.6\&.1\&.2\&.1\&.17

.fi

.if n \{\

.RE

.\}

.PP

The output produced should look like

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.\}

.nf
