Configuring the SNMP agent address

System administrators can set the SNMP agent address on Eclipse Amlen by configuring the snmpd.conf file.

The SNMP Agent Address is part of the snmpd daemon. System administrators can specify which address and port the daemon listens to for incoming SNMP requests by modifying the snmpd.conf file. The snmpd.conf file is read by the snmpd daemon.

To configure the SNMP agent address on Eclipse Amlen, add the following line to the snmpd.conf file:

agentAddress tcp:localhost:161, udp6:<IPaddress>:161

Where:
IPaddress
Specifies the host IP address or addresses that are configured for the SNMP agent to listen on.
The value must be either all or at least one host IP address.
The default value is all and means that the SNMP agent binds to all available addresses.
You can specify multiple IP addresses in a comma-separated list.
