Thanks you for your reply.
I don't know for sure and my knowledge on snmp is basic. Reading xinetd man
page indicates that all standard services
defined in /etc/services file can be launched via xinetd. I interpreted that
as launching multiple daemons (snmpd) is possible.
I take that is not the case for net-snmp. I would appreciate if you clarify the
following queries:
- is this one standalone deamon limitation specific to net-snmp only?
- do other snmp vendors support multiple agent deamons?
- I was successfully able to create multiple instances of snmpd using
different
port number on net-snmp via this command: /usr/sbin/snmpd
<proto>:<HostIPaddress>:<port>
- I guess it uses one deamon to keep track of all instances?
Thanks,
Biplab
