.SH NAME
snmpc \- SNMP composite agent for BSD UNIX
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
.B \*(SDsnmpc
\%[\fIsame\ options\ as\ snmpd\fR]
.in -.5i
(under /etc/rc.local)
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIsnmpc\fR server acts as a composite agent,
implementing the Simple Network Management Protocol for Berkeley UNIX
systems.
It is nearly identical to \fIsnmpd\fR.
Rather than duplicate the manual entry for \fIsnmpd\fR\0(8c),
consult that for further details.
The differences are:
\fIsnmpc\fR does not implement the Internet-standard MIB,
\fIsnmpc\fR does not support SMUX,
and \fIsnmpc\fR uses a configuration file named \fBsnmpc.rc\fR.

Although this package is distributed with the ISODE,
it is not an OSI program, per se.
Inasmuch as the continued survival of the Internet hinges on all nodes
becoming network manageable,
this package was developed using the ISODE and is being freely
distributed with releases of Berkeley UNIX.
.PP
It must be stressed that this package is not a complete network management
system.
In particular,
whilst \fIsnmpd\fR provides a minimal agent functionality,
there are no Network Operation Center (NOC) tools--\fIsnmpi\fR is a
debugging aid only.
