Description:
This command enables/disables the SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) Version 1 and 3 daemon.
SNMP protocol support is an important feature of all communication devices
because it allows the system administrator to use a uniform mechanism to
manage the operation of a network as a whole and of every its component
individually.
Although the first version of the SNMP protocol lacks security in the operation of
the protocol itself, which hinders its use for network management, it is widely
used to monitor and analyze network operation. MIB variables changing are
turned off for the first version; it works only in read-only mode. v1disable option
disables 1st version support completely and slightly fastens incoming
SNMP-requests processing.
Support of SNMP-V3 with USM (User-based Security Model) and MD5
authentication excluding encryption is also available. For access granting, a user
with username, password and access rights (with or without authentication) is
being created.
In "snmpd" command accessRights can be set to provide access management of
the recourses. ReadOnly|readWrite parameters allow only reading or also
changing some variables. Class guest/admin allows providing limited or full
access to the variables.
The default SNMP v1 community name for read operations is "public". The
"snmpd community NAME" command allows changing the default community
name.
