SNMPD.INTERNAL(5)                                           Net-SNMP                                           SNMPD.INTERNAL(5)



NAME
       snmpd.internal - internal configuration of the Net-SNMP agent

DESCRIPTION
       The snmpd.conf(5) man page defines the syntax and behaviour of the main configuration directives that can be used to con-
       trol the operation of the Net-SNMP agent, and the management information it provides.

       However there are several other configuration directives (many of which, though not all, start with a leading underscore)
       that  are  recognised  by the agent.  These are typically used to retain configuration across agent restarts, and are not
       intended for direct user access.  This man page list these directives, giving a brief indication of where they are  used.
       For  full  details  - see the relevant source files.  If you can't follow that source, you probably shouldn't be fiddling
       with these directives!

AGENT BEHAVIOUR
       quit

ACCESS CONTROL
   VACM Configuration
       vacmView / vacmGroup / vacmAccess
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured access control settings.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
   System Group
       setSerialNo
              This directive is used to implement the advisory lock object snmpSetSerialNo.

       psyslocation / psyscontact / psysname
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured system settings.  They will be overridden by the corre-
              sponding sysLocation, sysContact and sysName directives.

ACTIVE MONITORING
   Notification Handling
       pauthtrapenable
              This directive is used to retain the dynamically configured setting of whether the agent should generate authenti-
              cationFailure traps.  It will be overridden by the corresponding authtrapenable directive.

       snmpNotify*Table

       targetAddr / targetParams
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured notification destination settings.

   DisMan Event MIB
       _mteE*Table, _mteOTable, _mteT*Table
              These directives are used to retain dynamically configured event, object and monitor trigger settings.

       mteObjectsTable / mteTriggerTable
              These directives are for compatibility with the previous disman/event-mib implementation.

   DisMan Schedule MIB
       _schedTable
              This directive is used to retain dynamically configured scheduled events.

EXTENDING AGENT FUNCTIONALITY
   Arbitrary Extension Commands
       extend-sh

       exec2 / sh2 / execFix2
              These directives were defined by analogy with equivalent directives in the previous ucd-snmp/extensible  implemen-
              tation.  They are deprecated, and should not be used.
