hi,
ref:
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to monitor, configure and send alarms from network-enabled equipment. It consists of two parts: the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent.
The SNMP manager software is typically a GUI interface (though there are command line programs that will do similar things) that shows the "state of the network." The manager retrieves configuration and performance counters from the agent software by issuing get commands. It can also change a network element???s configuration by sending a set command (provided the appropriate permissions are set).
The SNMP agent responds to set and get commands issued from a management software with the correct community code. On Windows NT the agent retrieves information from the registry and converts it to the accepted format for SNMP. Agent software also has the ability to send an alarm or trap to the management console (or whatever IP address it???s configured).
SNMP agents use a Management Information Base (MIB) to determine what traps are sent and what performance counters are used. These MIBs are the foundation for reporting and sending traps.
SNMP run over UDP port 161 (traps are sent over UDP 162).
The applicaions like HP Openview NNM , cisco works are examples of snmp management application which uses the above ports. The
processes like snmpd in unix , SNMP service in
windows NT are examples od snmp agents.

Hi,

Well, everything depends... in a normal installation of HP-UX, the /usr/sbin/snmpdm process will work with the SNMP Ports. This process is started in /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster, but in /sbin/init.d there is another scripts who load another MIB's to your SNMP Daemon, they are the /sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix (MIB's to HP-UX), /sbin/init.d/SnmpMib2 (MIB's to SNMP Version 2) and /sbin/init.d/SnmpTrpDst (MIB's for SNMP Traps).

It's good to know that this SNMP Daemon can be put aside, if you have other daemon to put in place.

Hope this is helpfull.

Regards.
