Net-SNMP is housed on SourceForge and is usually in the top 100 projects in the SourceForge ranking system. It was the March 2005 SourceForge Project of the Month. [1] It is very widely distributed and comes included with many operating systems including most distributions of Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and OS X.
While in other SNMP communication, the manager actively requests information from the agent, these are PDUs that are sent from the agent to the manager without being explicitly requested. SNMP Traps enable an agent to notify the management station of significant events by way of an unsolicited SNMP message.
Agents that export objects via AgentX to a master agent are called subagents. The AgentX standard not only defines the AgentX protocol, but also the procedure by which those subagents process SNMP protocol messages. For more information, see RFC 2741 [1] for the original definition of the protocol and the IETF Agentx Working Group. [2]
The product does not rely on a software agent that must run on hosts it is monitoring, so that data can be pushed back to a central server. "Supported" means that an agent may be used, but is not mandatory. An SNMP daemon does not count as an agent. SNMP Able to retrieve and report on SNMP statistics. Syslog Able to receive and report on ...
In computing, the Structure of Management Information (SMI), an adapted subset of ASN.1, is a technical language used in definitions of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and its extensions to define sets ("modules") of related managed objects in a Management Information Base (MIB).
The CIM standard includes the CIM Infrastructure Specification and the CIM Schema: . CIM Infrastructure Specification; The CIM Infrastructure Specification defines the architecture and concepts of CIM, including a language by which the CIM Schema (including any extension schema) is defined, and a method for mapping CIM to other information models, such as SNMP.
MIMIC Simulator is a product suite from Gambit Communications consisting of simulation software in the network and systems management space. [2] [3]The MIMIC Simulator Suite has several components related to simulation of managed networks and data centers for the purposes of software development, software testing or training, sales and marketing of network management applications (see [4]).
While both agent configuration and data collection use SNMP, RMON is designed to operate differently than other SNMP-based systems: Probes have more responsibility for data collection and processing, which reduces SNMP traffic and the processing load of the clients.
