Installation of the SNMP daemon

User Manuals : FOXMAN-UN Northbound Interface - User Manual : SNMP Interface : Installation of the SNMP daemon

The SNMP Proxy agent is installed at the time of installation of the FOXMAN-UN application and is run as a daemon process.

If the option is licensed, the SNMP daemon is started when «nemstart» is executed. It can be started and stopped independently via the commands «snmpstart» and «snmpstop».

After a successful launch of the daemon it sends a standard cold start trap to the HLM running at the server that is specified by the «snmp_hlm_host» variable in the «$NEM_HOME/etc/snmpagentd.conf» file:

The configurable parameters in the «snmpagentd.conf» file applicable to the Proxy Agent and their default values are shown below:
