| .SH NAME |
| DATADIR/snmp/snmp.conf - configuration file for the ucd-snmp applications. |
| .br |
| ~/.snmp/snmp.conf - personal configuration file. |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B snmp.conf |
| is the configuration file which define how the ucd-snmp SNMP |
| applications operate. Tokens that can be put in them are described in |
| the |
| .B DIRECTIVES |
| section below. |
| .SH PLEASE READ FIRST |
| Make sure you make these files read-only by the user if you are |
| storing sensitive information in them like pass-phrases! |
| .PP |
| First, make sure you have read the snmp_config(5) manual page that |
| describes how the ucd-snmp configuration files operate, where they |
| are located and how they all work together. |
| .SH DIRECTIVES |
| .IP "mibdirs (mib-dirs|+mib-dirs)" |
| Look for textual mibs to parse in the list of ':' separated |
| directories. If the directive value starts with a '+' it prepends |
| this list to the front of the default directory list compiled into the |
| application. Note that this value can be overridden by the |
| .B MIBDIRS |
| environment variable. |
| .IP "mibs (mib-tokens|+mib-tokens)" |
| Specifies a ':' separated list of mib tokens that represent textual |
| mib files that should be found and parsed. If the directive value |
| starts with a '+' it prepends this list to the front of the default |
| mib token list compiled into the application. The special keyword of |
| "ALL" forces all mibs files found to be read. Note that the value |
| specified here can be overridden by the |
| .B MIBS |
| environment variable. |
| .IP "mibfile file" |
| Specifies a textual mib file to read and parse, in addition to the |
| list read from the mibs token. Note that the value |
| specified here can be overridden by the |
| .B MIBFILES |
| environment variable. |
| .IP "defSecurityName string" |
| The default snmpv3 USM security name you want to use for snmpv3 requests. |
| .IP "defContext string" |
| The default snmpv3 context name you want to use. |
| .IP "defPassphrase string" |
| .IP "defAuthPassphrase string" |
| .IP "defPrivPassphrase string" |
| The default snmpv3 USM passphrase(s) to use. |
| .B defPassphrase |
| will be used for both authentication and privacy pass phrases if it is |
| specified. |
| .IP "defAuthType MD5|SHA" |
| The snmpv3 USM authentication type to use. Only MD5 is supported out |
| of the box at this time. |
| .IP "defPrivType DES" |
| The snmpv3 USM privacy type to use. Currently, only DES is the |
| possible value, and isn't supported out of the box due to U.S. export |
| restrictions. |
| .IP "defSecurityLevel noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv" |
| The snmpv3 default security level to use. |
| .IP "doDebugging (1|0)" |
| Turns on debugging for all aplications run if set to 1. |
| .IP "debugTokens token[,token...]" |
| The debugging tokens that should be printed. See the |
| .I snmpcmd(1) |
| manual page for debugging usage details. |
| .IP "showMibErrors (1|yes|true|0|no|false)" |
| Weather or not to display textual mib parsing errors when commands are |
| run. |
| .IP "strictCommentTerm (1|yes|true|0|no|false)" |
| Weather or not mibs that are parsed should be strict about comment |
| termination. "--" terminates a comment if this is true. Many |
| distributed mibs have broken comments in them, hence this option. |
| .IP "mibAllowUnderline (1|yes|true|0|no|false)" |
| Allow underline characters in mibs (illegal). |
| .IP "mibWarningLevel integerValue" |
| The minimum warning level of the warnings printed by the mib parser. |
| .IP "dumpPacket (1|yes|true|0|no|false)" |
| Weather the commands should dump packets by default. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
