If you get many errors like the following in syslog:
snmpd[xxxx]: error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
It’s because of a bug in Debian, Run the following commands to resolve the issue:
sed -i 's/Lsd/LS6d/g' /etc/default/snmpd service snmpd restart
The following easy steps will install snmp daemon on your Debian server :
apt-get install snmpd snmp
now snmpd simple configuration ( change SECRET_NAME to a complex string ) :
echo rocommunity SECRET_NAME > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
restart snmpd :
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
last step to check snmpd is working ( change SECRET_NAME to the string you have chose before ) :
snmpwalk -v 1 -c SECRET_NAME -O e 127.0.0.1
you should get an output like below :

The following easy steps will install snmp daemon on your CentOS/RHEL server :
yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
now snmpd simple configuration ( change SECRET_NAME to a complex string ) :
echo rocommunity SECRET_NAME > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
start snmpd :
service snmpd restart
also make sure it starts on boot :
chkconfig snmpd on
last step to check snmpd is working ( change SECRET_NAME to the string you have chose before ) :
snmpwalk -v 1 -c SECRET_NAME -O e 127.0.0.1
you should get an output like below :
