snmpd.conf(4)snmpd.conf(4)NAMEsnmpd.conf — - configuration file for the SNMP agent
DESCRIPTION
When invoked, the SNMP agent reads its configuration information from
the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf configuration file. The SNMP agent is
either the snmpd (included with HP-UX) or the snmpd.ea (purchased with
the HP OpenView product). The SNMP agent will not be able to reply if
no values are configured in /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf i.e. /etc/Snmp
Agent.d/snmpd.conf is empty.
Parameter
The /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf file contains the following config‐
urable values:
get-community-name
Specifies community name for the agent. The agent responds to
SNMP GetRequests with this community name. You can configure
the agent to respond to more than one get community name. If
a commu nity name is not entered, the agent does not respond
to SNMP GetRequests.
set-community-name
Specifies community name for the agent. The agent responds to
the SNMP SetRequests and SNMP GetRequests with this community
name. You can configure the agent to respond to more than one
set com munity name. If a set community name is not entered,
the agent will not respond to SetRequests.
trap-dest Specifies a system where traps are sent (that is, the trap
destination). This system is usually the IP address of the
manager. If traps should be sent to multiple systems then a
trap-dest line should be included for each system.
location Specifies the physical location of the agent.
contact Specifies the person responsible for this agent and informa‐
tion on how to contact this person.
