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 di-
rectives that can be used to control the operation of the Net-SNMP agent, and the manage-
ment information it provides.
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 configuration 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 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 direc-
tives.
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 authtrapenable 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 moni-
tor trigger settings.
mteObjectsTable / mteTriggerTable
These directives are for compatibility with the previous disman/event-mib implemen-
tation.
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 implementation. They are deprecated, and should not be used.
