How do you disable the snmpd service?
Answer
The snmpd service allows device information to be shared across the network. If this service is not needed, you can disable it. Perform the following steps to disable the snmpd service:
1. Log into UNIX as the root user.
2. Check the current status of the snmpd service with the following command:
- [root@nps23226 ~]# chkconfig --list snmpd
snmpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
3. Disable the snmpd service with the following command:
- [root@nps23226 ~]# chkconfig snmpd off
4. Confirm that the snmpd service has been disabled by rerunning the first command:
- [root@nps23226 ~]# chkconfig --list snmpd
snmpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
If the service is currently running, you can stop it by running the following as root:
- service snmpd stop
