- \subsection{The Snmpd Command}
-
- The snmpd command realizes the function of a network
- management agent in a BSD 4.3 UNIX environment. The
- code for the snmpd command illustrates the use of the
- Development Kit facilities to accelerate development
- of an agent that can service network management requests.
- The set of management information supported by this code
- does not fully conform to RFC 1066, and, accordingly, this
- application should not be deployed for any but experimental
- purposes.
-
- Sources for the snmpd command reside in the
- \verb"snmpd" subdirectory of the Development Kit
- distribution hierarchy.
-
- The snmpd command is invoked with the syntax:
-
- {\bf snmpd} [{\bf -h} {\it localHost}] [{\bf -p} {\it localPort}]
- [{\bf -c} {\it communityName}]
-
- If the {\bf -h} flag is present, then the daemon
- will attempt to listen for management requests
- at the IP address specified as {\it localHost,}
- instead of merely binding to the wildcard address.
-
- If the {\bf -p} flag is present, then the daemon
- will attempt to listen for management requests
- at the UDP port specified as {\it localPort,}
- instead of that assigned to the ``snmp'' service
- in the \verb"/etc/services" database.
-
- If the {\bf -c} flag is present, then the daemon
- will accept management requests
- associated with the community name specified as {\it communityName,}
- instead of using the community name ``public.''
