The basic daemon implements the system group +and a number of private extensions to manage the UDP transport mapping, +communities, trap destinations and loadable modules. In this form it can +be used to provide remote access to arbitrary data that can be described in +the form as required by the SMI. The daemon speaks both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. + +One basic loadable module is provided together with the daemon: + +- snmp_mibII provides the information groups for ip, tcp, and udp. + +Installation +------------ + +You need to apply the patch in the patches directory to your system sources. +This adds a sysctl to retrieve multicast address information from the kernel. + +As usual by doing: + + make obj ; make depend ; make ; make install + +This does not install a configuration file. The standard location for the +configuration is /etc/snmpd.config, but can be overwritten on the command +line. An example configuration file is provided. + +Running +------- + + snmpd [-m name[=value]] [-p pid-file] [-c config-file] [-d] [-l prefix] + [-D debug-flags] [-I path] + + -m defines a configuration macro. If no value is given it + is set to the empty string. + + -p specify the file where to store the PID. Default is + /var/run/{prefix}.pid. + + -c specify the configuration file. Default is /etc/{prefix}.config. + + -d don't go into daemon mode. + + -l specify the prefix. This is used for the default config and + pid file names and for the syslog. Default is "snmpd". + + -D specify debug flags: + + d dump all PDUs. + + e debug event library. + + -I specify the include path for system configuration files. + Default is /etc:/usr/etc:/usr/local/etc. + +The directory snmpd contains a snmpd.sh script, which can be copied to +/usr/local/etc/rc.d to automatically start and stop the daemon. snmpd.config +is an example config script. + +Bug reports: +----------- + +Please report bugs to harti@freebsd.org. + +Happy hacking, +harti |
