Starts the hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent daemon as a background process.
The hostmibd command starts the hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent. This command may only be issued by a user with root privileges or by a member of the system group.
The hostmibd daemon complies with the standard Simple Network Management Protocol Distributed Protocl Interface Version 2.0 defined by RFC 1592. It is acting as a dpi2 sub-agent to communicate with the dpi2 agent through dpiPortForTCP.0 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.2.1.1.1.0) which is defined in RFC1592 section 3.1.
The hostmibd daemon is normally executed during system startup when /etc/rc.tcpip shell script is called.
The hostmibd daemon should be controlled using the System Resource Controller(SRC). Entering hostmibd at the command line is not recommended.
