NAME

snmpd.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(1M)

(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/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

is empty.

Parameter

The

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

ﬁle contains the following conﬁgurable 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 com-

munity name. If a community 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 community 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 information on how to contact this per-

son.

SNMPv3 Features

The syntax for using v3 features of SNMP is as follows. The format is:

TAG VALUE

Where TAG is one of the following:

usmUserEntry usmUserEntry is used to conﬁgure an SNMPv3 user.

vacmSecurityToGroupEntry

is used to assign principal to a group,

where principal is either SNMPv3 user or SNMPv1, SNMPv2 community

string.

vacmViewTreeFamilyEntry

vacmAccessEntry is used to deﬁne group(s) and the associated access

rights.

snmpTargetAddrEntry

snmpTargetAddrEntry is used to conﬁgure target addresses (to which

notiﬁcations should be sent).

snmpNotifyEntry

snmpNotifyEntry is used to conﬁgure Notiﬁcation Entries.

snmpTargetParamsEntry

snmpTargetParamsEntry is used to conﬁgure the parameters to be used

while sending notiﬁcations.

VALUE is a valid value for any give TAG . When the TAG is

usmUserEntry, the format of the VALUE

clause is as follows:

usmUserEngineID usmUserName usmUserAuthProtocol usmUserPrivProtocol \

usmUserStorageType usmTargetTag
