nmcfg
nmcfg
is the configuration script that helps the configuration of the SNMP agent. It is
particularly useful for the creation and management of SNMPv3 users of the User-based
Security Model (USM) and the assignment of VACM (View-based Access Control Model)
access rights to communities and users. The script interacts with the
/var/net-
snmp/snmpd.conf
persistent data file, which maintains the USM user database and other
SNMP agent persistent information. The script also performs
snmpget
commands to
display the list of USM users, which is not available in a human readable form in any
configuration file.
The script also reads and modifies the
snmpd.conf
configuration file to manage system
parameters (contact, location), community-based (v1/v2c) security, and user access
control. Used without parameters, it displays a summary of the SNMP agent configuration:
system parameters, access control, and SNMPv3 USM users.
