I noticed that 3.3 has an entry for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) in the /etc/services file, but I couldn't find an associated daemon. Questions: Does it make sense to get SNMP data from a host that's not a gateway? Does sgi have a daemon/program that answers SNMP queries? Can I get it without paying $8,000 for the Whizzy Graphical Interface Network Management program? I'm pretty new to SNMP so any answers would be greatly appreciated. -shoshana =============== Disclaimer necessitated by mailpath: =============== I don't work for sgi, I just work downstream. ====================================================================

The $8000 Network Management product you speak of is NetVisualyzer. It is a set of passive network monitoring and diagnostic tools that can display network traffic in real-time, draw traffic histograms, and capture and decode packets from the network.
