SNMPD.INTERNAL(5)                                 Net-SNMP                                 SNMPD.INTERNAL(5)



NAME
       snmpd.internal - internal configuration of the Net-SNMP agent

DESCRIPTION
       The snmpd.conf(5) man page defines the syntax and behaviour of the main configuration directives that
       can be used to control the operation of the Net-SNMP agent, and the management  information  it  pro-vides. provides.
       vides.

       However there are several other configuration directives (many of which, though not all, start with a
       leading underscore) that are recognised by the agent.  These are typically used to retain  configura-tion configuration
       tion  across  agent  restarts, and are not intended for direct user access.  This man page list these
       directives, giving a brief indication of where they are used.  For full details -  see  the  relevant
       source  files.  If you can't follow that source, you probably shouldn't be fiddling with these direc-tives! directives!

AGENT BEHAVIOUR
       quit

ACCESS CONTROL
   VACM Configuration
       vacmView / vacmGroup / vacmAccess
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured access control settings.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
   System Group
       setSerialNo
              This directive is used to implement the advisory lock object snmpSetSerialNo.

       psyslocation / psyscontact / psysname
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured  system  settings.   They  will  be
              overridden by the corresponding sysLocation, sysContact and sysName directives.

ACTIVE MONITORING
   Notification Handling
       pauthtrapenable
              This  directive  is  used  to  retain  the dynamically configured setting of whether the agent
              should generate authenticationFailure traps.  It will be overridden by the corresponding auth-trapenable authtrapenable
              trapenable directive.

       snmpNotify*Table

       targetAddr / targetParams
              These  directives are used to retain dynamically configured notification destination settings.

   DisMan Event MIB
       _mteE*Table, _mteOTable, _mteT*Table
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured event, object and  monitor  trigger
              settings.

       mteObjectsTable / mteTriggerTable
              These directives are for compatibility with the previous disman/event-mib implementation.

   DisMan Schedule MIB
       _schedTable
              This directive is used to retain dynamically configured scheduled events.

EXTENDING AGENT FUNCTIONALITY
   Arbitrary Extension Commands
       extend-sh

       exec2 / sh2 / execFix2
              These  directives  were  defined  by  analogy  with equivalent directives in the previous ucd-snmp/extensible ucdsnmp/extensible
              snmp/extensible implementation.  They are deprecated, and should not be used.
