Changing the snmpd.conf File

The snmpd.conf file is used for configuration information. Each entry in the file consists of a keyword followed by a parameter string. The default values in the file should suit your needs.

How to Change the snmpd.conf File

1. Edit the snmpd.conf file.

   For details on the descriptions of the keywords, refer to the snmpd(7) man page.

2. After making any changes to the snmpd.conf file, stop the smond and snmpd programs, then restart the scripts by entering:

   # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/smond_ctl stop # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/init.snmpd stop # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/init.snmpd start # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/smond_ctl start
