[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] CMU SNMP Distribution Available

sw0l+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU ("Steven L. Waldbusser") (01/18/89)

  I am now releasing CMU's SNMP Distribution.  The following (from the README
file) explains it all.

  The files in this directory compromise the 0.9 release of the CMU SNMP
distribution.  This includes the SNMP/ASN.1 library, several client
applications, an SNMP agent, and supporting documentation.

This code was written with efficiency and portability in mind.  The
applications compile and run on the following systems: IBM PC/RT running ACIS
Release 3, Sun3/50 running SUNOS 3.5, and the DEC microVax running Ultrix 2.2.
They are expected to run on any system with a Berkeley socket interface.

The agent compiles into about 10 KB of 68000 code.  This distribution includes
a full agent that runs on a Kinetics FastPath2/3/4, and is built into the KIP
appletalk/ethernet gateway.  The machine independent portions of this agent
also run on CMU's IBM PC/AT based router.

The applications are designed to be useful in the real world.  Snmpstatus
collects several pieces of information and presents them in a useful format
and is good for everyday status monitoring.  The rest of the tools are simpler,
but still interpret input and output symbolicly (they can be used without
referencing the RFC's!).
For instance, snmpstatus returns:
[128.2.56.220]=>[Kinetics Fastpath2] Up: 1 day, 4:43:31
Recv/Trans packets - Interface: 262874/39867 | IP 47432/34587

The rest of the applications typically present a variable in a form similar
to the following:
Name: interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1
INTEGER: ethernet-csmacd(6)

For further information, please consult the man pages.

This distribution is coprighted by CMU, but may be use and sold without
permission.  Consult the copyright notices for further information.

The distribution is available by anonymous FTP from the host
lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu (128.2.13.21) as the files pub/cmu-snmp.9.tar, and
pub/kip-snmp.9.tar.  The former includes the libraries and the applications,
and the latter is the KIP SNMP agent.

Please direct questions, comments, and bug reports to sw0l+snmp@andrew.cmu.edu.

There is a gateway at CMU running the agent.  Feel free to query it.  You
can access as netdev-kbox.cc.cmu.edu (128.2.56.220) with community name
"public".
