Configuring Internet Protocol (IP) routing

gated SNMP protocol statement

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is not a routing protocol but a network management protocol. The snmp statement controls whether gated tries to contact the SNMP daemon (snmpd) to register supported variables. The SNMP daemon must be run independently. The snmp statement only controls whether gated keeps the management software apprised of its status.

gated communicates with the SNMP daemon via the SMUX protocol that is described in RFC 1227.

   snmp yes | no | on | off
   [ {
       preference preference ;
       traceoptions traceoptions ;
       port port ;
   } ] ;
Reporting is enabled by specifying yes or on and disabled with no or off. The default is on.

port port
By default, the SNMP daemon listens for requests on port 199. gated can be configured to try to contact the SNMP daemon on a different port by explicitly specifying the port.

traceoptions traceoptions
Specifies the tracing options for SMUX. (See ``gated trace statements'').
