3.1 Starting SNMP Agent
Normally, the master agent and subagents of SNMP Agent start automatically when you start the system. For details about the files that are executed during system startup, see 3.1.5 Files that are executed during system startup.
To start SNMP Agent manually, execute the snmpstart command as a superuser. For details about the snmpstart command, see snmpstart in Chapter 5. Commands and Processes.
- Important
-
When the system OS is Linux, execute the snmpstart command after starting the native agent.
If the OS being used is Solaris or AIX, and you do not want to start the native agent, execute the snmpstart command with the -n option.
Each process of SNMP Agent can be run in its default status that existed during installation; however, you can also customize the startup options and environment variable definitions for the processes provided by SNMP Agent according to your environment.
The following subsections describe the settings (customization) for enabling the startup options and environment variable definitions for the processes provided by SNMP Agent.
