NAME

snmpd - SNMP daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/snmpd [-v]

DESCRIPTION

snmpd is the Internet Simple Network Management Protocol server process.  The server uses the UDP protocol and listens at the port specified in the “snmp” service specification; see services (4). 

snmpd uses three configuration files.  They are /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.conf, /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.comm, and /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.trap.  /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.conf is read to initialize the elements in the system group.  The other two files, /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.comm and /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.trap, are used to initialize the lists of systems in the communities that will be allowed access the Management Information Base on the local system.  See snmpd.conf(4), snmpd.comm(4), and snmpd.trap(4) for more information on the format and uses of these files.  Optionally, /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.fddi can be used to configure the device nodes used for the FDDI interface.  See below. 

snmpd supports the FDDI interface.  It defaults to opening device nodes /dev/m385_c0 and /dev/m385_c1 to communicate with the FDDI board.  These device nodes can be changed with the file, /etc/snmp.d/snmpd.fddi.  Each line in the file is a device node to attempt to open.  Blank lines and lines that start with ’#’ for comments are ignored. 

The optional argument, −v, is used to enable debugging output.  Debugging information is written to standard output.
