Migrating to Net-SNMP

Starting in release 8.5.1, you can use Net-SNMP, instead of the Genesys SNMP Master Agent component, to implement SNMP functionality. Net-SNMP and Genesys SNMP Master Agent can run in parallel on the same system, if the following conditions are met:

  • Only one connection to an SNMP Master Agent can be configured on each Solution Control Server (SCS).
  • The ports used by the SNMP Master Agents must be unique, and not used by any other application.

Solution Control Server and Local Control Agent support both implementations.

To migrate to Net-SNMP from Genesys SNMP Master Agent, you must:

  1. Install Net-SNMP on each host machine on which you will be using Net-SNMP Master Agent, using the instructions in the "Installing Net-SNMP" section of the Framework Deployment Guide.
  2. Convert each Genesys SNMP Master Agent to a Net-SNMP Master Agent, using the following steps: [+] Show steps
    Important
    SCS reads the configuration settings of the SNMP Master Agent Application object and uses the option values to connect to Net-SNMP. Therefore, you must ensure that the option values configured for the SNMP Master Agent Application object in the Configuration Database match the actual configuration settings in your SNMP Master Agent.
