Net-snmp Introduction

Net-snmp intro

Net-snmp is used to implement SNMP
Application suites of V1, SNMP v2, and SNMPv3 can be used in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This kit includes:

*A series of command line programs used for SNMP protocol operations
* Tk/Perl is used to provide a graphical MIB browser (tkmib ).
* A daemon that receives SNMPTRAP information. The selected SNMP notification information can be recorded (recorded in syslogs, NT logs, or text files), forwarded to another SNMP management system, or transmitted to other programs.
* An extensible agent (snmpd) is used to respond to SNMP requests from the management system. This includes a variety of built-in support: supports a wide range of MIB information modules, you can use Dynamic Loading modules for expansion, you can use external scripts and commands for expansion, support for Multiplexing SNMP (smux) and Agent scalability protocols (agentx.
* A library is provided to support new SNMP development and C and Perl APIs.
Net-snmp is supported for many UNIX and Unix-like operating systems and windows. Note: Different system functions may change. Read the README file of your platform.

 

Net-snmp contains the following tools that support the SNMP protocol:

* An extensible proxy

* An SNMP Library

* A tool used to query and set SNMP agents

* Tools used to generate and process SNMP traps

* An SNMP-supported 'netstat' command

* A mib information Browser Based on Perl, TK, and SNMP
This package was initially based on the SNMP Development Project of Carnegie Mellon University (version 2.1.2.1)

 

Net-snmp
Command line tool:

Snmptranslate: learning about the MIB Tree

Snmpget: retrieving data from a host

Snmpgetnext: Retrieving unknown indexed data

Snmpwalk: Retrieving lots of data at once

Snmptable: displaying a table

Snmpset: Memory Ming write operations

Snmpbulkget: communicates with a network entity using snmp getbulk request

Snmpbulkwalk: retrieve a sub-tree of management values using snmp getbulk requests

SNMPTRAP: sending and processing ing traps, and acting upon them.

-
Traps/informs with SNMP V3/USM: sending and tracing ing SNMP V3/USM traps and informs.

-
Sending traps/informs via agentx: sending events from the command line through snmpd.
