| .SH NAME |
| snmpd - daemon to respond to SNMP request packets. |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B "snmpd [-v] [-a] [-V] [-d] [-q] [-D] [-p port] [-f] [-l logfile] [-L] [-c file] [-C]" |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B snmpd |
| is a SNMP agent which binds to a port and awaits requests from |
| SNMP management software. Upon receiving a request, it processes the |
| request(s), collects the requested information and/or performs the |
| requested operation(s) and returns the information to the sender. |
| .SH OPTIONS |

| .TP |
| .B -V |
| Makes a symbolic dump of the protocol transaction. |
| .TP |
| .B -d |

| .SH CONFIGURATION FILES |
| .PP |
| .B snmpd |
| checks for the existence of and parses the following files: |
| .RS |
| .TP 6 |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/snmp.conf |
| Common configuration for the agend and the application. See snmp.conf(5) |
| for details. |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/snmpd.conf |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/snmpd.local.conf |
| Configures the agent. See snmpd.conf(5) for details. These files are |
| optional and are only used to configure the extensible portions of the |
| agent, the values of the community strings, and the optional trap |
| destinations. By default, the first community string ("public" by |
| default) is allowed read-only access and the second ("private" by |
| default) is allowed write access as well. The 3-5th community strings |
| are read-only as well. |
| .IP |
| In addition to these two configuration files in DATADIR/snmp, the |
| agent will read any files with the names snmpd.conf and |
| snmpd.local.conf in a colon separated path specified in the |
| SNMPCONFPATH environment variable. |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/mibs/ |
| The agent will also load all files in this directory as mibs also. It |
| will not, however, load any file that begins with a '.' or descend into |
| subdirectories. |
| .B |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/party.conf |
| Defines the classic SNMP V2 parties. |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/view.conf |
| Defines which parties defined in the |
| .B party.conf |
| have access to which parts of the mib. |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/context.conf |
| Maps names to numerical view contexts. |
| .TP |
| .B DATADIR/snmp/acl.conf |
| Defines the classic SNMP V2 action types usable by two communicating parties. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| See the associated manual pages for information on the content of |
| these files. |
