NAME
       snmpd.internal - internal configuration of the Net-SNMP agent

DESCRIPTION
       The snmpd.conf(5) man page defines the syntax and behaviour of the main
       configuration directives that can be used to control the  operation  of
       the Net-SNMP agent, and the management information it provides.

       However	there  are  several  other  configuration  directives (many of
       which, though not all, start with a leading underscore) that are recog
       nised  by  the agent.  These are typically used to retain configuration
       across agent restarts, and are not intended  for  direct  user  access.
       This man page list these directives, giving a brief indication of where
       they are used.  For full details - see the relevant source  files.   If
       you  cant  follow that source, you probably shouldnt be fiddling with
       these directives!

AGENT BEHAVIOUR
       quit

ACCESS CONTROL
   VACM Configuration
       vacmView / vacmGroup / vacmAccess
	      These directives	are  used  to  retain  dynamically  configured
	      access control settings.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
   System Group
       setSerialNo
	      This  directive  is  used  to implement the advisory lock object
	      snmpSetSerialNo.

       psyslocation / psyscontact / psysname
	      These directives are used to retain dynamically configured  sys
	      tem settings.  They will be overridden by the corresponding sys
	      Location, sysContact and sysName directives.

ACTIVE MONITORING
   Notification Handling
       pauthtrapenable
	      This directive is used to retain the dynamically configured set
	      ting  of whether the agent should generate authenticationFailure
	      traps.  It will be overridden by the  corresponding  authtrapen
	      able directive.

       snmpNotify*Table

       targetAddr / targetParams
	      These directives are used to retain dynamically configured noti
	      fication destination settings.

   DisMan Event MIB
       _mteE*Table, _mteOTable, _mteT*Table
	      These directives	are  used  to  retain  dynamically  configured
	      event, object and monitor trigger settings.

       mteObjectsTable / mteTriggerTable
	      These  directives  are  for compatibility with the previous dis
	      man/event-mib implementation.

   DisMan Schedule MIB
       _schedTable
	      This directive is used to retain dynamically  configured	sched
	      uled events.

EXTENDING AGENT FUNCTIONALITY
   Arbitrary Extension Commands
       extend-sh

       exec2 / sh2 / execFix2
	      These  directives were defined by analogy with equivalent direc
	      tives in the previous ucd-snmp/extensible implementation.   They
	      are deprecated, and should not be used.
