3.3 Starting and terminating the native agent
The following describes the use of the snmpstart and snmpstop commands, provided by SNMP Agent, to start and terminate the native agent.
- In Solaris and AIX
-
The snmpstart command with no arguments also starts the native agent. The snmpstop command with no arguments also terminates the native agent.
If you run the snmpstart command with the -n option, the native agent is not started. If you run the snmpstop command with the -n option, the native agent is not terminated.
- In Linux
-
The snmpstart command and the snmpstop command do not start and stop the native agent. The starting and stopping of the native agent depend on controls on the OS side.
