NAME
snmpd - SNMP agent
SYNOPSIS
in.snmpd [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The in.snmpd daemon is the Internet Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) server process. It also functions as an SMUX
server.
snmpd listens for incoming snmp requests on the UDP port 161,
in.snmpd also listens on the TCP port 199 for incoming connect
requests from the SMUX peers and various other TCP end-points
connected to SMUX peers to exchange SMUX PDUs.
The ports on which the SNMP agent listens for SNMP and SMUX
requests are specified in the Internet Requests for Comments
(RFCs) that define these standards.
The optional argument, -v, is used to enable debugging output.
Debugging information is written to standard output.
FILES
snmpd uses the following configuration files:
/etc/netmgt/snmpd.conf is read to initialize elements
in the system group.
/etc/netmgt/snmpd.comm
/etc/netmgt/snmpd.trap are used to initialize the lists
of systems and communities that
will be allowed to access the
Management Information Base on
the local system.
/etc/netmgt/snmpd.peers is used to authenticate open
requests from potential SMUX
peers.
See snmpd.conf(4), snmpd.comm(4), snmpd.trap(4), and
snmpd.peers(4) for more information on the format and uses of
these files.
