snmpd(ADMN)
snmpd --
SNMP agent
Synopsis
in.snmpd [-v]
Description
The in.snmpd daemon is the Internet Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) server process. It also functions as an
SMUX server.
snmpd listens for incoming snmp requests on the
UDP port 161.
in.snmpd also listens on the TCP port 199 for incoming
connect requests from the SMUX peers and various other
TCP end-points connected to SMUX peers to exchange
SMUX PDUs.
The ports on which the SNMP agent listens for SNMP and
SMUX requests are specified in the Internet Requests for Comments
(RFCs) that define these standards.
The optional argument, -v, is used to enable debugging output.
Debugging information is written to standard output.
