[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] SNMP/SGMP/ASN.1 information request

menges@menges.cs.unc.edu (John Menges) (10/20/88)

I'm implementing an SNMP proxy server for some bridges and gateways
that don't support SGMP or SNMP.  The first part of this project
is for a class I'm taking this semester, so I'm on a short time
schedule.

Can anyone out there help me find any of the following,
preferably via anonymous ftp?  I can spend some money,
but it has to be a small amount for me to get it through
the university system in a short period of time.  I can
spend larger amounts for the longer-term project, as it's
not so time constrained.

1.  Any SNMP server/client code.
2.  Any SGMP server/client code.
3.  Any ASN.1 documentation, or conversion code.

Also, any relevant documentation.  I have the following:

idea0011-00.txt.1
idea0011-01.txt.1

and I am aware of the existence of SGMP RFCs, though I haven't
searched for them yet.  Is there another idea?  I thought I saw
a reference to idea0011-02 at one point but I didn't see it
at sri-nic.arpa. Also, does idea0011-01 supercede idea0011-00?
Are the ASN.1 specs (ISO International standards 8824 and 8825)
available via anonymous ftp, or can I call or mail someone to
get them?  Is there a cost?  Does anyone have SNMP or SGMP
packet descriptions or sample packets they could mail me?

I'll be glad to package up what I find out and post it, if the
contributor(s) ok it.

I have an SGMP server (soon to be SNMP) that will be put in the public domain.
It is not yet in distribution form, so it isn't available via anonymous FTP.
Because of your time constraints, however, I can package everything up and send
it to you "as is".

This package includes the ASN builder and parser libraries, and the server code
that runs on the Kinetics Box (it also runs on CMU's PC/AT based gateways).
Some Unix/X based applications are also planned.

The documentation you are looking for is as follows:

RFC1028         SGMP
RFC1065         Structure of Management Information (SMI)
RFC1066         Management Information Base (MIB)
RFC1067         SNMP

idea011-01 has been superseded by RFC1067. You probably want to
look at RFC1065 and RFC1066 also, which deal with the information
that SNMP manages. To the best of my knowledge, ASN.1 is documented
only in the two ISO documents you cite, which are not available
from anonymous ftp but may be obtained from Omnicom Inc. (don't remember
the address and I'm at home right now).

As far as I know, there is no public domain version of SNMP available
today.

Good luck.....

Don't work on SGMP, SNMP is now the standard and is already
more widely accepted.  Your work would have a longer future
there.

    Also, any relevant documentation.  I have the following:

    idea0011-00.txt.1
    idea0011-01.txt.1

Pick up RFC-1065,1066,1067 which are the relevant documents,
these were all published in August.

    and I am aware of the existence of SGMP RFCs, though I haven't
    searched for them yet.  Is there another idea?  I thought I saw
    a reference to idea0011-02 at one point but I didn't see it

NYSERNet of course has an implementation of SNMP which we've
been shipping since August (and SGMP back in January).
