If agent is not running

If the SNMP agent is not already running, specify the -d parameter when you invoke the agent. You specify this parameter based on the method by which you start the SNMP agent:

Using the start options in the JCL used to start the SNMP agent (more common). For example,
```
//OSNMPD    EXEC PGM=EZASNMPD,REGION=4096K,TIME=1440,PARM='-d 8'
```
Using the z/OS® UNIX shell, using the snmpd command. For example:
```
snmpd -d 255 &
```

Use one of the following trace levels or a combination of them:

1: Trace SNMP requests
2: Trace SNMP responses
4: Trace SNMP traps
8: Trace DPI packets level 1
16: Trace DPI internals level 2
32: Internal trace (debug level 1)
64: Extended trace (debug level 2)
128: Trace DPI internals level 2

Combining trace levels: To combine trace levels, add trace level numbers. For example, to request SNMP requests (level 1) and SNMP responses (level 2), you would request trace level 3.

Trace records are sent to the file specified by the daemon.debug entry in the SYSLOG configuration file. For more information see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
