Which version of SNMP does Solaris come with
I've been tasked to do an audit of our environment and see which version of SNMP our servers are running so that we can look at where we are before we try to upgrade to SNMP Version 3. How do I check which version of SNMP a Solaris system is running?Thanks,T

Not sure which SNMP agent you're running, but I'll take a guess that you're using Net-SNMP 5.x .
You can determine this by:
(Solaris 10) /usr/sfw/bin/snmpd -v
or possibly:
/usr/local/bin/snmpd -v
Net-SNMP 5.x agents are capable of answering queries from SNMP verions 1, 2c, and 3.Keep in mind, an EngineID and SNMPv3 user must be configured before SNMP 3 wil work. For more info on this see "man snmpd.conf" and/or the Net-SNMP FAQ: http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/FAQ.html (scroll to the AGENT section)

From Solaris 6 to Solaris 9, the default SNMP agent is SNMPV1 complaint called Solstice Enterprise Agent.From Solaris 10, the default SNMP agent is SMA based on net-snmp which is snmpV3 complaint

Hi,Is there any difference on which MIBs I have access to using different versions on SNMP?For some reason I do not see all OIDs when using SNMP V1. That said, I haven't tried V2c or V3.Thanks for your reply,Adriano
