chksnmpd(1)

NAME

chksnmpd − check connectivity with the SNMP agent

SYNOPSIS

chksnmpd [-x] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

chksnmpd performs a loop-back, SNMP request to the SNMP agent to get a MIB value. The request is sent to either the snmpd or the snmpd.ea (see snmpd(1M) and snmpd.ea(1M)). If chksnmpd receives a valid response, it reports a “Success” message; otherwise, it reports a “Failure” message.

If there is a community name entered in /etc/community, chksnmpd uses that community name; otherwise, chksnmpd uses the public default community name.

chksnmpd checks connectivity with the local SNMP agent executing on the same system that the chksnmpd command is executing. chksnmpd cannot check connectivity with an SNMP agent running on a remote system.

Options

chksnmpd recognizes the following options:

-x Hexdump the packets sent to the SNMP agent and the packets received from the SNMP agent.

-v Display the results of the response.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages appear. If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, chksnmpd behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C." See environ(5).

International Code Set Support

Supports single-byte character code sets.
