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.
