Purpose
Starts the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent as a background process.
Syntax
Refer to the syntax for either the snmpdv1 daemon or the snmpdv3 daemon.
Description
/usr/sbin/snmpd is a
symbolic link to either the
snmpdv1 daemon
which supports only SNMP version 1, or to either the encrypted or
non-encrypted version of the
snmpdv3 daemon
which supports SNMP version 3. For information about the
snmpd daemon,
please refer to the documentation of the appropriate version of the
SNMP agent. On

version of the SNMP version 3 agent.
Note: The encrypted version of
the SNMP version 3 agent is available from the AIX Expansion Pack.
