Definition examples

This example changes 8161, shown in the following line, to another port number:
```
SNMP_NATIVE_OPTIONS="-p 8161"
export SNMP_NATIVE_OPTIONS
```

This example changes public, shown in the following line, to a community name for which the native agent snmpd process permits a get/get-next-request:

SNMP_SNMPMIBD_OPTIONS="-c public"
export SNMP_SNMPMIBD_OPTIONS
SNMP_HOSTMIBD_OPTIONS="-c public"
export SNMP_HOSTMIBD_OPTIONS
SNMP_AIXMIBD_OPTIONS="-c public"
export SNMP_AIXMIBD_OPTIONS
