The '''snmpd''' daemon acts as the central SNMP data repository for a given host. In it's most typical usage, it listens to port 161 (and possibly 10161) and:

* waits for requests to come in and responds to them
* issues notifications ([[TRAP]]s and [[INFORM]]s)
* is capable of performing some [[TUT:DisMan Monitoring|Self Monitoring]]

== Configuring snmpd ==

The [[snmpd.conf]] configuration file takes a huge wealth of configuration options. One way to get started is to run the ''[[snmpconf|snmpconf -g basic_setup]]'' command.

== Extending snmpd ==

The Net-SNMP agent is renowned for how easy it is to extend it via [[Tutorials#Coding_Tutorials|C-code]], [[Tut:Extending snmpd using perl|perl]] or [[Tut:Extending snmpd using shell scripts|shell scripts]].

		+	Internally, the agent's architecture is composed of a primary processing engine and a bunch of [[handlers]] that are responsible for returning and processing data from sections of the [[MIB]] tree. See the [[Agent Architecture]] document for more details about the internal guts of the agent.
