Greetings to all, I am looking for a public domain SNMP package. I understand Carnegie-Mellon has written a package, but I am not sure how or where to look for it. If there are any other public domain packages available, I am not aware of them. (1) Are there any others available? (2) Where would I find CMU SNMP, or any others? Could I do an anonymous FTP and get them, or is some other method required? (3) Are there any phone numbers of developers, administrators, etc. who may be familiar with this package? Are there periodic updates? [Basically, I am asking if this package resembles NCSA Telnet in any manner regarding telephone support, and if so how?} (4) Does anyone have any opinions they would like to share, caveats to pass on, etc.? Thank you in advance for any opinions/advice/pointers you can provide. Kathy Rinehart Rinehart@AEDC-VAX.AF.MIL

I can't check the file names, directories, etc. because routing seems to have come a little unstuck in the US at the moment (at least if you're coming from Australia!). |> (3) Are there any phone numbers of developers, administrators, etc. |> who may be familiar with this package?

Well written code, lots of example (and useful) applications, widely used, easy to write new applications of your own (ie. good/simple API), and it can parse foreign MIBs.

Excerpts from internet.tcp-ip: 21-Jan-91 CMU SNMP and/or opinions Kathy R. c. x3899@aedc-v (955) > I am looking for a public domain SNMP package.

CMU SNMP is available for anonymous FTP from lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu in the file pub/cmu-snmp1.0.tar (or get the newer beta version in pub/snmp1.1b.tar). There are two other public domain packages, MIT and ISODE: MIT: allspice.lcs.mit.edu, file "pub/snmp/snmp.tar" ISODE: uu.psi.com, file pilot/src/... The CMU code continues to be enhanced and updated. There is no mailing list of users (although I consider this occasionally), but there are several hundred users, many of whom read the snmp mailing list (as I do). There is no telephone support. If you need support of this level, I'd suggest one of the many fine commercial packages such as the one from SNMP Research. Predictably, my opinions about the CMU package are pretty high, so I won't bother to comment. Steve
