snmpd.peers -- SMUX peers file

Format

name object-id password [ priority ]

Description

The file /etc/snmpd.peers contains information which the SNMP agent/server daemon, snmpd(ADMN), uses to authenticate requests from SMUX peers to register subtrees with the SNMP agent/server. The file contains lines which consist of four items, one of which is optional:

name
of SMUX peer.

object-id
in dot notation that represents object-identifier of the SMUX peer.

password
in unencrypted form which snmpd compares with the password received in the open request PDU from the SMUX peer. As the passwords are not encrypted, this file must be in protected mode ``0600'' and owned by ``root.''

priority
optional priority value that snmpd uses to determine which SMUX peer to consult when more than one peer registers the same subtree. Legal values are 0 to (2^31)-1, with a lower number having a higher priority. A ``-1'' can also be used to represent the highest available priority.
The syntax of the lines in the file is as shown in the ``Format section above. Each token is separated by white space; any token containing white space must be quoted with double quotes ("). Lines which begin with ``#'' are ignored.
