DESCRIPTION

The Master SNMP Agent (

/usr/sbin/snmpdm

) and the collection of subAgents (

/usr/sbin/*agt

)

that would attach to the Master Agent collectively form a single SNMP Agent. The SNMP Agent accepts

SNMP Get, GetNext and Set requests from an SNMP Manager which cause it to read or write the

Management Information Base (

MIB). The MIB

objects are instrumented by the subAgents.

The Master Agent can bind to separate process subagents.

Options

The Master agent

/usr/sbin/snmpdm

and the manual startup script /usr/sbin/snmpd recognize

the following command line options:

-apall Log all error messages, warnings messages and trace messages. This option forces

snmpdm to run in the foreground.

-aperror Log all error messages. This option can be used in conjunction with -aptrace and

-apwarn.

-aptrace Log all trace messages. This option can be used in conjunction with -aperror and

-apwarn.

-apwarn Log all warning messages. This option can be used in conjunction with -aperror

and -aptrace.

-authfail

-a Suppress sending authenticationFailure traps.

-Contact contact

-C contact Specify the contact person responsible for the network management agent. This

option overrides the contact person speciﬁed in the Master Agent conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

. It does not alter the value speciﬁed in the

ﬁle. By default, the agent’s contact is a blank string. To conﬁgure the agent’s con-

tact, add the contact after the word contact: in the conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf or use the -C option.

-e extendFile This option is provided for backward compatibility with the pre-emanate snmpd.ea

extensible SNMP agent. It is applicable only to the script /usr/sbin/snmpd,

and only if the EMANATE extensible agent is installed. It is installed if the ﬁle

/usr/sbin/extsubagt exists. This option causes the extsubagt to use the com-

mand line speciﬁed extendFile instead of the default ﬁle

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.extend to add user deﬁned MIB objects to the

SNMP agent.

-help

-h Display command line options and log mask values.

-Location location

-L location Specify the location of the agent. This option overrides the location speciﬁed in

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf. It does not alter the value in

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf. By default, the agent’s location is a blank

string. To conﬁgure the agent’s location, add the location to

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf or use the -L option.

PAGE 2
snmpd(1M) snmpd(1M) -logfile logfile -l logfile Use the logfile for logging rather than the default logfile, /var/adm/snmpd.log. A value of - will direct logging to stdout. -log_format value The value can be 0 or 1. 0 means use traditional logging format for /var/adm/snmpd.log file. 1 means use new logging format. The new logging format gives the Log level, Timestamp, Program Name, File name, Line Number and message in separate lines. -mask logmask -m logmask Sets the initial logging mask to logmask.
PAGE 3
snmpd(1M) snmpd(1M) linkDown Sends a linkDown trap when an interface goes down. linkUp Sends a linkUp trap when an interface comes up. authenticationFailure Sends an authenticationFailure trap when an SNMP request is sent to the SNMPR agent with a community name that does not match the community names specified in /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf.
PAGE 4
snmpd(1M) snmpd(1M) It also includes the subagents /usr/sbin/trapdestagt and /usr/sbin/naaagt. The trapdestagt supports the MIB variables used for updating the trapdest entries in snmpd.conf file. For details on the naaagt subagent please refer to naaagt man page. The MIB-2 subAgent supports most of the objects in RFC1213. The EGP group is not supported. The HP-UX subAgent supports most of the objects in the HP-UX MIB.

snmpd(1M) snmpd(1M) The environment variables specific to the master agent snmpdm are as below: Environment Variables SNMP_LOG_SIZE Exporting this variable to >= 1MB restricts the size of the snmp log file. When the size grows beyond the value exported, the log file rolls over. SR_SNMP_TEST_PORT This variable can be exported to change the default port on which snmpdm listens. SR_TRAP_TEST_PORT This variable can be exported to change the default port to which snmpdm sends traps.
