                     24: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     25: The \fIsnmpt\fR server acts as a trap sink.
                     26: Unon receipt of a message,
                     27: it simply logs it to an audit-file.
                     28: .SH TRANSPORTS
                     29: For a UDP\-based network service,
                     30: the server listens on port 162 for SNMP messages.
                     31: The `\-p' option overrides the default UDP port.
                     32: .PP
                     33: For an X.25\-based network service,
                     34: the server implements the transport class 0 protocol,
                     35: decodes the connection request packet,
                     36: and execs the appropriate program to enter the protocol and provide the
                     37: service.
                     38: The `\-a' switch is used to specify the X.121 address of the local host
                     39: \(em this overrides the entry in the \fBisotailor\fP file.
                     40: In addition,
                     41: the `\-i' switch is used to specify the protocol ID to listen on
                     42: \(em the default is 03019000.
                     43: Note that on most X.25 implementations,
                     44: if the local X.121 address is not present in the \fBisotailor\fR file,
                     45: then the `-a' switch must be used in order for the server to
                     46: receive incoming calls.
                     47: .PP
                     48: For a TP4\-based transport service,
                     49: the server simply listens to any incoming connections for selector
                     50: \*(lqsnmp-trap\*(rq.
                     51: .PP
                     52: By default,
                     53: all network services are enabled
                     54: (if defined in the configuration).
                     55: The `\-t' option specifies TCP\-only operation,
                     56: the `\-x' option specifies X.25\-only operation,
                     57: and the `\-z' option specifies TP4\-only operation.
                     58: .SH "DEBUG OPERATION"
                     59: If \fIsnmpt\fR is started interactively,
                     60: or if the `\-d' switch is given,
                     61: then debug mode is entered.
                     62: In this case,
                     63: all logging activity is displayed on the user's terminal.
                     64: In addition,
                     65: the logging information is more verbose.

                     94: whilst \fIsnmpd\fR provides a minimal agent functionality,
                     95: there are no Network Operation Center (NOC) tools--\fIsnmpi\fR is a
