24.6.2. Running the Net-SNMP Daemon
The net-snmp package contains
snmpd, the SNMP Agent Daemon. This section provides information on how to start, stop, and restart the snmpd service, and shows how to enable it in a particular runlevel. For more information on the concept of runlevels and how to manage system services in Red Hat Enterprise Linux in general, see Chapter 12, Services and Daemons.
24.6.2.1. Starting the Service
To run the
snmpd service in the current session, type the following at a shell prompt as root:
servicesnmpdstart
To configure the service to be automatically started at boot time, use the following command:
chkconfigsnmpdon
This will enable the service in runlevel 2, 3, 4, and 5. Alternatively, you can use the Service Configuration utility as described in Section 12.2.1.1, “Enabling and Disabling a Service”.
