The snmpd daemon acts as the central SNMP data repository for a given host. In it's most typical usage, it listens to port 161 (and possibly 10161) and:
- waits for requests to come in and responds to them
- issues notifications (TRAPs and INFORMs)
- is capable of performing some Self Monitoring
Configuring snmpd
The snmpd.conf configuration file takes a huge wealth of configuration options. One way to get started is to run the snmpconf -g basic_setup command.
Extending snmpd
The Net-SNMP agent is renowned for how easy it is to extend it via C-code, perl or shell scripts.
