NAME
       snmpd.config, snmpd.communities, snmpd.trapcommunities - SNMP
       configuration files

DESCRIPTION
       Use these files to configure snmpd for your system.  When snmpd is
       started, it reads the configuration files and begins servicing
       requests from the network.  If snmpd recieves a SIGHUP signal, it re-
       reads the configuration files and then continues processing requests.

   snmpd.config
       Use this file to override the default values for some objects.  You
       should use either the sysadm or admsnmpobject commands to modify this
       file.  The format for this file is:

       object=value

       where object may be one of: sysDescr, sysObjectID, sysContact,
       sysLocation, or sysName.  In most cases only the sysContact and
       sysLocation need to be specified in this file, because snmpd provides
       reasonable defaults for the other objects.

   snmpd.communities
       Use this file to define the community strings, host addresses, and
       access levels recognized by the agent.  You should use either the
       sysadm or admsnmpcommunity commands to modify this file.  There is a
       limit of 64 entries in snmpd.communities file and they have the
       following format:

       community host access

       where:

       community      is an ASCII string of up to 64 characters specifing a
                      community name to be recognized by the agent.

       host           is either a hostname or an Internet address,
                      identifying a host in this community for which the
                      agent will accept queries. Address 0.0.0.0 indicates
                      any host.

       access         is one of: READ, for read-only access, WRITE, for
                      read-write access, or NONE for no access.

   snmpd.trapcommunities
       Use this file to define the list of communities, host addresses, and
       port numbers to which the agent sends traps.  You should use either
       the sysadm or admsnmptraps commands to modify this file.  There is a
       limit of 64 entries in snmpd.trapcommunities file and they have the
       following format:

       community host port

       where:

                      community name to send with the trap message.

                      should send the trap. The value 0.0.0.0 means any
                      host.
