The snmpd.conf is extremely powerful and too flexible to cover completely here. The
configuration file itself is commented extensively and good documentation is available at the
net-snmp website

Adding more than one SNMP server

To add more than one SNMP server for alert traps, add the first SNMP server using the
Management Console (refer to Chapter 7) or the command line config tool. Secondary and any
further SNMP servers are added manually using config.

Log in to the Console Server’s command line shell as root or an admin user. Refer back to the
Management Console UI or user documentation for descriptions of each field.

To set the Manager Protocol field:
config --set config.system.snmp.protocol2=UDP or
config --set config.system.snmp.protocol2=TCP

To set the Manager Address field
config --set config.system.snmp.address2=w.x.y.z
.. replacing w.x.y.z with the IP address or DNS name.

To set the Manager Trap Port field
config --set config.system.snmp.trapport2=162
.. replacing 162 with the TCP/UDP port number

To set the Version field
config --set config.system.snmp.version2=1 or
config --set config.system.snmp.version2=2c or
config --set config.system.snmp.version2=3

To set the Community field (SNMP version 1 and 2c only)
config --set config.system.snmp.community2=yourcommunityname
.. replacing yourcommunityname with the community name
