NAME

chksnmpd − check connectivity with snmpd(1M)

SYNOPSIS

chksnmpd [−x]

DESCRIPTION

chksnmpd performs a loop-back, SNMP request to snmpd(1M) to get a MIB value.  If chksnmpd receives a valid response, it reports a "Success" message; otherwise, it reports a "Failure" message. 

If there is a community name entered in /etc/community, chksnmpd uses that community name; otherwise, chksnmpd uses the public default community name. 

chksnmpd checks connectivity with the local snmpd (1M) executing on the same system that the chksnmpd command is executing.  chksnmpd can not check connectivity with an snmpd (1M) running on a remote system. 

Options

chksnmpd recognizes the following option:

−x Hexdump the packets sent to snmpd (1M) and the packets received from snmpd (1M). 

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages appear. If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG.  If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, chksnmpd behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C." See environ(5).

International Code Set Support

Supports single-byte character code sets.
