NAME
snmpd - Simple Network Management Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
snmpd [-dNnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-r path]

DESCRIPTION
snmpd is a daemon which implements the SNMP protocol.

The options are as follows:

-D macro=value
    Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file.

-d  Do not daemonize and log to stderr.

-f file
    Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/snmpd.conf.

-N  Show numeric OID values instead of their symbolic names.

-n  Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.

-r path
    Open a second, restricted, control socket that snmpctl(8) can use. Only trap requests are allowed on this socket.

-v  Produce more verbose output.
