I am currently using an implementation of SNMP on my network. I am interested to find out if anyone knows of an SNMP agent that will run on an Apollo. I have about thirty five Apollos and it would be real helpful. One written under 9.7 or 10.1 would be good. steve jamieson Harris Semiconductor rutgers!soleil!jamieson (feed)

We are currently in the process of designing an SNMP based system, under SR10.1, for the Apollos. I have looked at the CMU and MIT PD sources and am leaning toward CMU as a base. We want to build a system that will work with Suns and VAXen as well, however the Apollo base will be the first. We have about 200 Apollos, 20+ Suns, and 20+ VAXen here. However the number of Suns and VAXen will grow so the tools will need to be portable to them. I'll let you know of our progress and be glad to share what we get done. BTW, what SNMP implementation are you using on your net? I'd like to compare notes. //Andy Liwen

SNMP assumes that you have a Berkeley (or derivitives) kernal, it wants to open "/dev/kmem" and go grubbing around in kernal memory to put out IP stuff (stats, routing tables, etc). As the Apollo kernal is totally different (in fact the tcp/ip tables aren't even in the kernal) this won't work very well. The info is actually in a file in user space (`node_data/tcp_data sr9.x & `node_data/systmp/tcp_data sr10) and its format is undcoumented. It could be done but it would be messy. There is hope though; at sr10.2 there are some new "ioctl" calls, that are released, to export this kind of information to user processes. With these calls at sr10.2 it should be relatively easy to port SNMP. Dave Funk
