I am pretty new to this discussion group. Could anyone update me on whether Netware 386 supports SNMP? If yes, over which stack, i ie UDP/IP or IPX? Where can I buy/get a copy of the SNMP package? What about the 286 server? thanks

As of NetWare v3.11 (which we have just announced), the core TCP/IP NLMs we developed are bundled into the base operating system. These are: TCPIP.NLM - The TCP/UDP/IP/ICMP/ARP/RIP protocol implementations SNMP.NLM - An SNMP (MIB 1, RFC 1066) agent TCPCON.NLM - An SNMP managment console SNMPLOG.NLM - An SNMP trap logger IPCONFIG.NLM - A small NLM for configuring static IP routes IPTUNNEL.NLM - Used for channeling IPX communications through UDP/IP To elaborate on the SNMP support, the current primary function of NetWare v3.11 SNMP support is for the management and configuration of the TCP/IP stack within NetWare v3.11 servers. It can not be used to manage the actual server itself (create/delete users, find out how much disk space is left, etc...). The SNMP agent NLM is accesible from any SNMP console that understands MIB 1 (just about all of 'em) but we have also done our own SNMP management console that runs as an NLM on the server. This can be used to manage the TCP/IP stack within the server on which it is running, the TCP/IP stack on any other NetWare v3.11 server running the TCP/IP NLMs and indeed any other SNMP MIB 1 agent you may have on any systems around the network. It does a very good job of talking to the SNMP agents within our backbone routers (Ciscos) for example. If you load the SNMP trap logger NLM, a NetWare v3.11 server can be your SNMP trap logger for the network (it squirrels the traps away into a file). The TCPIP NLM itself can generate traps and can send them either to the local logger or a remote logger on a user specifiable node (possibly another NetWare v3.11 server). TCPCONs user interface is as per the NetWare DOS utilities (the blue and yellow windows your all used to seeing). All of the SNMP MIB 1 objects are displayed in real time and the organisation of the menus is as per the various tables of MIB 1. As an SNMP console, it isn't as graphical as its big brothers that run on Sun workstations and the like but it does have the advantage of being learnable in about 2 minutes, so I like it! > >Where can I buy/get a copy of the SNMP package? > It's "free" with every copy of NetWare v3.11. >What about 286 servers? Sorry, all this is for NetWare 386 only. As of NetWare v3.11, the "386" is officially dropped from the product name by the way.
