The DynamicSNMP® SNMP Agent SDK provides a set of generic high-level Java APIs which greatly simplify the development of platform-independent Java SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 agent software for use in:
- network device agents
- SNMP north bound interfaces (NBIs)
- element management systems (EMS)
- network management systems (NMS)
- network application monitors
- application management interfaces
- fault management consolidators
- network management probes
- protocol mediators (TL1 to SNMP, etc)
- SNMP network/agent simulators
- and many more ...
With a wide range of API configuration options for everything from developing a simple SNMP application management plug-in to a full-scale telecommunications equipment agent, the SNMP Agent SDK has the components you need to do the job right.
Key Features
The DynamicSNMP® SNMP Agent SDK is built on top of the core DynamicSNMP® metadata interface and messaging engine.The metadata interface includes the following features:
- command line MIB compiler and metadata generator:
- SNMP metadata built from standard SNMP MIB files
- converts SNMP MIB to XML format
- converts SNMP MIB to user-friendly HTML files (see example)
- automatic module resolution for standard SNMP MIB modules
- metadata API provides runtime access to SNMP MIB definitions
- automatic label to OID lookup
- automatic OID to label reverse lookup
- metadata loaded from XML MIB file output of metadata generator
- supports dynamic, runtime SNMP MIB generation from Java classes
and the messaging engine supports:
- high performance BER encoding and decoding of SNMP PDUs
- optimized for minimal memory/object usage
- intelligent BER buffer caching/reuse
- encode once paradigm for mulitple target messages
In addition to the features of the core APIs, the key features of the SNMP Agent SDK are:
- 100% Java, works with Java 2 SDK version 1.2 or greater
- strongly-typed APIs (for understandability)
- high performance OID tree implementation
- SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support
- SNMPv2-MIB support
- built-in RowStatus support
- SNMP MIB value initialization from XML
- configurable access control
- table and leaf node processor support
- Java bean adaptor (Attach your Java objects to the agent)
- automatic generation of SNMP MIBs from java classes
- simplified notification support (uses OBJECTS clause to populate traps)
- default support for SNMP Get,Set,GetNext, and GetBulk requests
- generic, extensible variable and message processors
- default SCALAR and TABLE variable implementations
- configurable support for multiple simultaneous network interfaces
- built-in support for the following transport protocols:
- SNMP over UDP
- SNMP over TCP
- SNMP over Serial Port
- built-in support for the following authentication specifications:
- MD5
- SHA
- built-in support for the following privacy specifications:
- DES
- 3DES (Triple DES)
- AES128
- AES192
- AES256
- built-in support for the following user/key management standards
- USM
- USM with Diffie-Helman Key Change and Key Ignition
- built-in instrumentation for the following MIBs:
- SNMPv2-MIB
- SNMP-TARGET-MIB
- SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB
- SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB
- SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB
- SNMP-USM-DH-OBJECTS-MIB
- SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB
- SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB
- supports 'on-the-fly' MIB definition generation
