Linux* LAN Management SNMP Extension

## Overview

This file describes the Intel Linux* LAN Management Instrumentation Daemon and the Intel Linux* LAN Management SNMP Extension.

## Linux* LAN Management Daemon

### Installation

The Linux* LAN Management Daemon (ilanmngd) is delivered in RPM format. There are different sets of RPMs per IA architecture (IA32 and IA64) and per gcc compiler version (v2.96 and v3.2).
The following RPMs create ilanmngd:

- ilanmngd_core-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - the core of the daemon application
- ilanmngd_diag-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles diagnostics
- ilanmngd_team-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles teams (bonding)
- ilanmngd_vlan-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles vlans
- ilanmngd_pt-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles pass through fail over

where:
x.v.z represents the version number of the component,
VER is the gcc* compiler version: 2.96 or 3.2, and
ARC is the machine architecture: i386 or ia64.
The following instructions explain how to install ilanmngd:

1. Take the appropriate files for your machine (IA32 or IA64) and gcc* compiler (v2.96 or v3.2).
2. Install each RPM file by the command: 'rpm -i rpm-file-name'. First install the rpm file 'ilanmngd_core-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm'.
   This rpm must be installed in order to get any functionality of ilanmngd. The other RPM files depend on this one.
   Install the other ilanmngd RPMs according to the instrumentation functionality you want to get.
   The rpm file 'ilanmngd_pt-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm' depends on the rpm file 'ilanmngd_team-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm'.
   So if you want to install 'ilanmngd_pt' then you need to install 'ilanmngd_team'.

### Running

1. To run ilanmngd, logon to the system as root.
2. Enter the 'ilanmngd' command.

### Uninstall

1. Stop running the ilanmngd daemon by using the 'killall process-id-of-ilanmngd' command.
2. Uninstall the RPMs in reverse order by using the 'rpm -e ilanmngd_AgentName' command. The AgentName could be 'core','diag','team','vlan',or'pt'. In the command 'rpm -e', you need to indicate only the prefix name of the RPM file. The RPM file 'ilanmngd_core' should be removed last since all the other RPM files depend on it. If you installed 'ilanmngd_pt', then remove it before removing the 'ilanmngd_team' RPM file.

## Linux* LAN Management SNMP Extension

### Installation

The SNMP extension (ilanmng_snmp) is delivered in RPM format. There are different RPMs per IA architecture (IA32 and IA64) and
per gcc compiler version (v2.96 and v3.2). The following RPM creates ilanmngd_snmp:

- ilanmng_snmp-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm

where:
x.v.z represents the version number of the component,
VER is the gcc* compiler version: 2.96 or 3.2, and
ARC is the machine architecture: i386 or ia64.
The following instructions explain how to install ilanmngd_snmp.

1. Take the appropriate RPM file for your machine (IA32 or IA64) and gcc* compiler (v2.96 or v3.2).
2. Prior to installing the rpm file for ilanmng_snmp, install the following RPMs (ilanmng_snmp depends on them).

- ilanmngd_core-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - the core of the daemon application.
- ilanmngd_diag-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles diagnostics.
- ilanmngd_team-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles teams (bonding).
- ilanmngd_vlan-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm - an extension to the core which handles vlans.

3. Install the ilanmng_snmp RPM file by the command 'rpm -i ilanmng_snmp-x.v.z-gccVER-ARC.rpm'

### Running

1. To run the ilanmngd_snmp daemon, first logon to the system as root.
2. Validate that the ilanmngd is running (use the 'ps' command); otherwise activate it by using the 'ilanmngd' command.
3. Validate that the net-snmp daemon (snmpd) isn't running by using the 'ps' command. If it is running, remove it by using the 'kill' command.
4. Run snmpd by using the 'snmpd' command.
5. Run the ilanmng snmp extenstion by using the 'ilanmng_snmp' command.

### Uninstall

1. Stop running the ilanmng_snmp by using the 'killall process-id-of-ilanmng_snmp' command.
2. Uninstall the RPMs in reverse order by using the 'rpm -e ilanmng_snmp' command. Use the prefix name of the RPM file in the command.
