scli - SNMP Command Line Interface
|
|
|
|
The scli package was written to address the need for small and
|
|
efficient command line utilities to monitor and configure network
|
|
devices and host systems. The scli package is based on the SNMP
|
|
management protocol. It utilizes a MIB compiler called smidump to
|
|
generate C stub code.
|
|
|
|
In fact, virtually no SNMP knowledge is required in order to extend
|
|
the scli programs with new features.
|
|
|
|
The programs contained in the scli package try to be very specific
|
|
rather than generic. Generic SNMP tools such as MIB browsers or
|
|
simple command line tools (e.g. snmpwalk) are hard to use since
|
|
they expose too many protocol details. And in most cases, they fail
|
|
to present the information in a format that is easy to read and
|
|
understand.
