F5 BIGIP: Verify/Restart SNMP Daemon

Just in case you need to check the status and/or restart the SNMP daemon of the bigip (i.e., because it has stopped responding to SNMP polling), enter the following commands via the CLI:

For BIGIP v4

1. Check the SNMP daemon status:
   /etc/bigstart/status/S40snmpd status
   
   The correct output should be:
   Status snmpd: (pid xxxxx) is running
   Status bigsnmpd: (pid yyyyy) is running
   Status rlxsnmpd: is not running



2. If the result is different from above (i.e., bigsnmpd is not running), restart the SNMP daemon:
   /etc/bigstart/status/S40snmpd restart

For BIGIP v9

1. Check the current status of the SNMP daemon:
   bigstart status snmpd



2. Restart the SNMP daemon
   bigstart restart snmpd



3. Verify status of the SNMP daemon:
   bigstart status snmpd


Example:


[root@bigip:Active]~# bigstart status snmpd
snmpd run (pid 12707) 90 days, 1 start
[root@bigip:Active]~# bigstart restart snmpd
[root@bigip:Active]~# bigstart status snmpd
snmpd run (pid 4822) 6 seconds, 2 starts
[root@bigip:Active]~#
