The SNMP service when enabled in the Linux based Manager allows administrators to view and manage the Linux machine attributes remotely.

Note

The service is disabled by default on a fresh installation of the Linux based Manager. You need to issue the snmp enable command to enable it.

Note

The default configuration present in snmpd.conf file allows you to read limited number of machine attributes. You can modify this file using the edit snmpd.conf command to view the attributes of your choice. Upon modifying the file, issue the snmp restart command for the changes to be effective.

Note

The default SNMP community string set in the configuration file is mlosnsm. You can use this string for authentication, or change it through snmpd.conf if you intend to use a different string. Restart the SNMP service upon changing the string.

The snmp command displays a list of commands in the Manager shell which can be used to perform actions on the SNMP service in the Linux based Manager.

This command has no parameters.
