SNMPD.CONF(5)

NAME
       snmpd.conf - configuration file for CMU snmpd

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/snmpd.conf is read on startup by snmpd(8)

       This  file has two parts. The first part is related to the
       view, user and community configuration for snmp V2-usec.

       The second part is for the Linux port and  allows  to  set
       additional configuration items:

       The  Linux  specific  part  consists of lines containing a
       <<key>> followed by a : and a <<value>> .
       Lines beginning with a # and empty lines are ignored.

       The recognized key and value pairs are as follows:

       port   The port to open and listen  to;  default  is  port
              161.

       sysContact
              Return  string  for  a  system.sysContact  request;
              default is Unknown.  Please note: This  is  setable
              by a snmp set-request and saved.

       sysLocation
              Return  string  for  a  system.sysLocation request;
              default is Unknown.  Please note: This  is  setable
              by a snmp set-request and saved.

       sysName
              Return string for a system.sysName request; default
              is the hostname.  Please note: This is setable by a
              snmp set-request and saved.

       trap sink
              The  host  the  trap  is sent to; this parameter is
              passed to snmptrap(1).  The default is "localhost"

       trap community
              The trap community used; this parameter  is  passed
              to snmptrap(1). The default is "public".

       snmpEnableAuthenTraps
              Flag  to  indicate,  traps should be sent. Possible
              values are "enabled" and "disabled". The default is
              disabled.

       interface
              The  value  must have three fields: a string naming
              the interface, a integer describing the type of the
              interface  (ala  RFC 1213) and a integer describing
              the speed of the interface.   If  the  name  has  a
              trailing asterisk, any suffix will match.  Multiple
              entries are possible. Look at the example below for
              a sample.

EXAMPLE
       A sample /etc/snmpd.conf is:

       ## /etc/snmpd.conf:
       ##
       ## view configuration
       ##
       ##   viewName  OID            included/excluded
       ##
       ## internet
       view all       .1.3.6.1       included

       ## internet
       view mini      .1.3.6.1       included

       ## for v1 public exclude exclude mib-2.ident.identInfo
       ## and mib-2.host.hrSWRun in the mini view:
       view xmini          .1.3.6.1       included
       view xmini          .1.3.6.1.2.1.24.1   excluded
       view xmini          .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4   excluded

       ## system, snmp, usecAgent, usecStats
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.2.1.1      included
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.2.1.11          included
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.6.3.6.1.1  included
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.6.3.6.1.2  included

       ## snmp, usecAgent, usecStats
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.2.1.11          included
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.6.3.6.1.1  included
       view semi      .1.3.6.1.6.3.6.1.2  included

       ##
       ## user configuration
       ##
       ##   noneRV    noneWV    authRV    authWV    userName[/authKey]
       ##
       user mini -    all  all  public/0x05a1483bb7a0b314cc5cf9d27aee2a89

       ##
       ## community configuration
       ##
       ##     commName     readV     writeV
       ##
       community public    xmini     -
       community private   mini mini

       ##

       ## now follows the specific section of the linux-port.
       ##

       ##
       ## port to use (default is 161):
       ##
       # port:        161

       ##
       ## the entry of system.Contact and system.Location:
       ##
       sysContact:         Kaept'n Koerg
       sysLocation:        Outer Regions
       ## system name is per default determined from the hostname:
       # sysName:          chappell

       ##
       ## trap sink address and community string. (passed to snmptrap(1)
       ## utility). authentraps contains the value of snmpEnableAuthenTraps;
       ## (``enabled'' == send traps, default is ``disabled'' == do not send traps).
       ##
       trap sink:          localhost
       trap community:          public
       snmpEnableAuthenTraps:   enabled

       ##
       ## type and speed of interfaces:
       ## if the last char is an asterisk, any suffix will match.
       ##
       interface:     lo0  24   20000000
       interface:     eth0  6   10000000
       interface:     sl*  28   38400
       interface:     ppp* 23   38400

       ## end of /etc/snmpd.conf

BUGS
       There is currently no further documentation about the usec
       specific part.
       If you run a redhat based installation, you may  encounter
       problems due to that fact.
