3 This is a mini-SNMP daemon. The basic daemon implements the system group
4 and a number of private extensions to manage the UDP transport mapping,
5 communities, trap destinations and loadable modules. In this form it can
6 be used to provide remote access to arbitrary data that can be described in
7 the form as required by the SMI. The daemon speaks both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
9 One basic loadable module is provided together with the daemon:
11 - snmp_mibII provides the information groups for ip, tcp, and udp.
18 configure [--with-libbegemot[=path]]
22 This does not install a configuration file. The standard location for the
23 configuration is /etc/snmpd.config, but can be overwritten on the command
24 line. An example configuration file is provided. Use --with-libbegemot
25 to use libbegemot instead of libisc.
30 snmpd [-m name[=value]] [-p pid-file] [-c config-file] [-d] [-l prefix]
31 [-D debug-flags] [-I path]
33 -m defines a configuration macro. If no value is given it
34 is set to the empty string.
36 -p specify the file where to store the PID. Default is
37 /var/run/{prefix}.pid.
39 -c specify the configuration file. Default is /etc/{prefix}.config.
41 -d don't go into daemon mode.
43 -l specify the prefix. This is used for the default config and
44 pid file names and for the syslog. Default is "snmpd".
46 -D specify debug flags:
50 e debug event library.
52 -I specify the include path for system configuration files.
53 Default is /etc:/usr/etc:/usr/local/etc.
55 The directory snmpd contains a snmpd.sh script, which can be copied to
56 /usr/local/etc/rc.d to automatically start and stop the daemon. snmpd.config
57 is an example config script.
