NAME

snmpd − Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent for DEC OSF/1 gateways and hosts

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/snmpd

DESCRIPTION

The SNMP Agent, snmpd, performs SNMP operations on a DEC OSF/1 gateway or host. The daemon sits in the background and listens on SNMP port 161. When the snmpd daemon receives an SNMP packet from a Network Management Station (NMS), the daemon performs SNMP operations on the packet and returns a valid response to the NMS. 

The snmpd daemon extracts much of its information from kernel memory.  Static variables whose values are not available in the kernel take values from the Internet Managed Object Module configuration file, /etc/netman/inet_momd.conf. 

SNMP Supported Variables

For a complete listing of the SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) variables that are supported, see the Guide to Network and Communications Management and Problem Solving. 

RESTRICTIONS

The following MIB variables are supported only if the gated daemon is running: ipRouteMetric1, ipRouteProto, and ipRouteAge.
