root@localhost:~# vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
from line

# sec.name source community
com2sec paranoid default public
#com2sec readonly default public
#com2sec readwrite default private

####
# Second, map the security names into group names:

# sec.model sec.name
group MyROSystem v1 paranoid
group MyROSystem v2c paranoid
group MyROSystem usm paranoid
group MyROGroup v1 readonly
group MyROGroup v2c readonly
group MyROGroup usm readonly
group MyRWGroup v1 readwrite
group MyRWGroup v2c readwrite
group MyRWGroup usm readwrite

Sample for allow ip from network 192.168.0.0/24 to access snmpd on this server


# sec.name source community
#com2sec paranoid default public
com2sec readonly 127.0.0.1/32 public
com2sec readonly 192.168.0.0/24 public
#com2sec readwrite default private

####
# Second, map the security names into group names:

# sec.model sec.name
#group MyROSystem v1 paranoid
#group MyROSystem v2c paranoid
#group MyROSystem usm paranoid
group MyROGroup v1 readonly
group MyROGroup v2c readonly
group MyROGroup usm readonly
#group MyRWGroup v1 readwrite
#group MyRWGroup v2c readwrite
#group MyRWGroup usm readwrite


save config and restart service

root@localhost:~# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

check snmp binding address

root@localhost:~# netstat -tuanp |grep :161
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:161 0.0.0.0:* 26696/snmpd
root@localhost:~#


test snmp config
