SNMP configuration files
The SNMP options that you specify in the SNMP Administration screen are
written to one or more of the following configuration file or files. If you
prefer, you can configure SNMP by directly editing the appropriate files
with a text editor rather than using the Configuration utility.
◆ hosts.deny
This file denies all UDP connections to the SNMP agent.
◆ hosts.allow
This file specifies which hosts are allowed to access the SNMP agent.
◆ snmpd.conf
This file configures the SNMP agent.
◆ snmptrap.conf
For the BIG-IP, the configuration in /etc/snmptrap.conf determines
which messages generate traps, and what those traps are. Edit this file
only if you want to add traps.
◆ 3dns_snmptrap.conf
For the 3-DNS Controller, the configuration in
/etc/3dns_snmptrap.conf determines which messages generate traps and
what those traps are. Edit this file only if you want to add traps.
◆ syslog.conf
Configure /etc/syslog.conf to pipe specified message types through
checktrap.pl.
/etc/hosts.deny
This file must be present to deny by default all UDP connections to the
SNMP agent. The contents of this file are as follows:
ALL : ALL
/etc/hosts.allow
The /etc/hosts.allow file is used to specify which hosts are allowed to access
the SNMP agent. There are two ways to configure access to the SNMP agent
with the /etc/host.allow file. You can type in an IP address, or list of IP
addresses, that are allowed to access the SNMP agent, or you can type in a
network address and mask to allow a range of addresses in a subnetwork to
access the SNMP agent.
For a specific list of addresses, type in the list of addresses you want to
allow to access the SNMP agent. Addresses in the list must be separated by
blank space or by commas. The basic syntax is as follows:
daemon: <IP address> <IP address> <IP address>
