Table 3-2 Master Agent Command Line Arguments


Argument	Description
`-a` `filename`	A full path (default) of the access control file is: `/etc/snmp/conf/snmdx.acl`; see "4.4 Agents Access Control File" for more information
`-c` `dirname`	The full path of the (default) directory containing the agent resource files; the default directory is: `/etc/snmp/conf`
`-d` `debug_level`	Used for debugging purposes; depending on the `debug_level` (0-4), it prints a specific amount of information; the default `debug_level` is 0
`-h`	Command usage
`-i` `filename`	The full path of the PID used by the Master Agent for recovery after a crash; it contains tuples of the UNIX process ID, port number, resource name, and agent name (default files) is: `/var/snmp/snmpdx.st`
`-o` `filename`	This file contains the tuple (`enterprise_name`, `oid`); for example, (`Sun Microsystems,1.3.1.6.1.4.32`); the file (default) is used as a base for lookup in the trap-filtering and forwarding process is: `/etc/snmp/conf/enterprises.oid`
`-m GROUP \| SPLIT`	The forwarding of SNMP requests mode; the default is `GROUP`; see "3.1.5 Sending Requests"for a description of the two modes
`-p` `port_number`	The port number; the default port number is 161; for example, `-p 1234`
`-r` `filename`	The full path of the resource file name used by the Master Agent; stores information about the subagents that the Master Agent invokes and manages; the default resource file is `/etc/snmp/conf/snmpdx.rsrc`; see "4.2 Agents Resource Configuration Files"for more information
`-y`	A recovery indicator signals when invoking the Master Agent process and then invokes the recovery module; the recovery process discovers which subagents in the previous session are still active; those subagents not active are re-spawned by the Master Agent
