How to configure SNMP in mininet

First, you need to install snmp on your system:

sudo apt-get install snmp snmpd

Now, procced to configure snmp with the respective information about your machine:

sudo mv /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf  /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.org
sudo vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
#Add these lines
#Change public by your SecretPassword if you like
rocommunity  public
syslocation  "Somewhere"
syscontact  nicolas.boettcher@mail.udp.cl

Now, edit the snmp daemon to listen all interfaces:

sudo vim /etc/default/snmpd
Change from:
# snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err).
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1'

 To:
# snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err).
#SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1'
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf'

Now, restart the daemon with:

 /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

To check it's all ok, run this follow command:

 snmpwalk -v1 -c public 127.0.0.1:161

If you want to use MIB filters like system, probably you will get this error:

 snmpwalk -Dparse-mibs  -v1 -c public 127.0.0.1:161 system
parse-mibs: No index
parse-mibs: cannot open MIB directory /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp
system: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> system)

You can try downloading all mibs with this command:

sudo apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
sudo echo 'mibs +ALL' >> /etc/snmp/snmp.conf
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Now, you can see the OID (object ID) and show the full list with:

snmptranslate -Tp

However, you can use the identificator .1.3.6.1.2.1.1, instead of system, as follows:

snmpwalk -v1 -c public 127.0.0.1:161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1

Now, to test SNMP on mininet, proceed to download and run the following test file:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kspviswa/py-playground/master/snmpTest.py
sudo python snmpTest.py

 Just execute the following line on every host throught xterm to run snmpd:

 /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller in Mininet

If you try to run a mininet script like this  , maybe you will get this problem if you are under Ubuntu. Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller  This is trigger because your system don't find a default controller . To enable it just add the first line and add the controller argument to net variable like the second line: from mininet.node import OVSController net = Mininet(topo=topo,host=CPULimitedHost, link=TCLink,controller = OVSController) Now, you will get the following error: c0 Cannot find required executable ovs-controller. Please make sure that it is installed and available in your $PATH: (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin) ovs-controller is a legacy name. You need to be sure that you has it. sudo apt-get install openvswitch-testcontroller sudo cp /usr/bin/ovs-testcontroller /usr/bin/ovs-controller If you run it again, you should kill ovs-testcontroller first to avoid this: Exception: Please shut d

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode
