 Name

    snmpd - SNMP daemon

 Syntax

    /etc/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(SFF).

    snmpd uses three configuration files.  They are /etc/snmpd.conf,
    /etc/snmpd.comm, and /etc/snmpd.trap.  /etc/snmpd.conf is read to ini-
    tialize the elements in the system group.  The other 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.  See snmpd.conf(SFF),
    snmpd.comm(SFF), and snmpd.trap(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.

 Files

    /etc/snmpd.conf
    /etc/snmpd.comm
    /etc/snmpd.trap
