snmpd(ADMN)                   06 January 1993                    snmpd(ADMN)


 Name

    snmpd - SNMP daemon

 Syntax

    /etc/snmpd [-v]

 Description

    snmpd is the Internet Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server
    process.  It also functions as an SMUX server. This process listens on
    the UDP port 161, (specified in the ``snmp'' service specification) for
    incoming SNMP requests.  snmpd also listens on the TCP port 199 (speci-
    fied in the ``smux'' service specification) for incoming connect requests
    from the SMUX peers and various other TCP end-points connected to SMUX
    peers to exchange SMUX PDUs.  For service specifications see
    services(SFF).

    snmpd uses four configuration files. They are /etc/snmpd.conf,
    /etc/snmpd.comm, /etc/snmpd.trap, and /etc/snmpd.peers.  /etc/snmpd.conf
    is read to initialize the elements in the system group.  The two files
    /etc/snmpd.comm and /etc/snmpd.trap are used to initialize the lists of
    systems in the communities that will be allowed to access the Management
    Information Base on the local system.  /etc/snmpd.peers is used to
    authenticate open requests from potential SMUX peers.  See
    snmpd.conf(SFF), snmpd.comm(SFF), snmpd.trap(SFF), and snmpd.peers(SFF)
    for more information on the format and uses of these files.

    The optional argument, -v, enables debugging output.  Debugging informa-
    tion is written to standard output.
