How to Enable snmp Daemon

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install snmp snmpd snmp-mibs-downloader

$ sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf


Then set rocommunity password securely:

agentaddress  udp:161
view   systemonly  included   .1.3.6.1.2.1
view   systemonly  included   .1.3.6.1.4.1
rocommunity  public1234xA12 default -V systemonly

$ sudo systemctl restart snmpd


Securing SNMP Configuration

Security is a critical aspect when configuring SNMP. Always ensure that community strings are complex and not easily guessable. Additionally, restrict access to your SNMP service to trusted hosts only.
