Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for
|
|
monitoring the health of network equipment (eg. routers), computer equipment
|
|
and even devices like UPSs. Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to
|
|
implement SNMP v1, SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using both IPv4 and IPv6.
|
|
|
|
This package includes the Net-SNMP library, snmpd (an extensible agent
|
|
for responding to SNMP queries for management information with built-in
|
|
support for a wide range of MIB information modules), snmptrapd (a daemon
|
|
to receive and log or forward SNMP notifications), and various command-
|
|
line applications to:
|
|
|
|
- retrieve information from an SNMP-capable device, either using single
|
|
requests (snmpget, snmpgetnext), or multiple requests (snmpwalk,
|
|
snmptable, snmpdelta).
|
|
- manipulate configuration information on an SNMP-capable device (snmpset).
|
|
- retrieve a fixed collection of information from an SNMP-capable device
|
|
(snmpdf, snmpnetstat, snmpstatus).
|
|
- convert between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs, and display
|
|
MIB content and structure (snmptranslate).
