All SNMP products utilize syslog for logging. Logging options can either be globally changed by editing the file snmp.conf or individually modified for each daemon/agent by editing the appropriate rc file (auto start/stop script passing command line arguments):
The rc files located in etc/rc2.d are invoked during startup of the POSIX subsystem and follow the standard naming convention of starting with the letter "S".
The rc files located in etc/rc0.d are invoked during shutdown of the POSIX subsystem and follow the standard naming convention of starting with the letter "K".
Note that the existing rc scripts present in /etc/rc2.d/ will be backed up before being overwritten by the default ones.
The /usr/share/snmp/mibs folder is used for storing the MIB files of installed products.
/etc/snmp is used for storing configuration files and backed up starting rc files.
The following table summarizes the delivery scope of the SNMP-related products.
