The snmpd.conf(5) manpage for your operating system might mention the pass directive, but not

discuss the octet_str directive as a supported data type at the time of the release of the net-

snmp package. However, the octet_str directive appears to be supported in all tested versions of

the net-snmp package, starting with version 5.1.2. The manpage might simply be out of date.

Simply try the procedure to see if it works; it probably will.

Although configuring the snmpd.conf file by hand can be thrilling, it is also a scriptable procedure.

You can run the script during the post-install phase of a GNU/Linux operating system installation, or

run manually after installation and the snmpd agent is restarted.

It is important to start or restart the snmp daemon after an agentless configuration so that it re-reads

its configuration file. The snmp daemon does not reread its entire configuration file when signaled.

Restarting the snmp daemon also causes it to send a coldStart trap to the CMS. In the case of HP

SIM, the restart triggers a reassessment of the manageability of the system, which can automatically

elevate the server status from unmanaged to managed.
