The DynamicSNMP® SNMP Manager SDK provides a set of generic high-level Java APIs which greatly simplify the development of platform-independent Java SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 manager applications for use in:
- element management systems (EMS)
- network management systems (NMS)
- fault management systems
- application management systems
- local craft interfaces (LCI)
- network manager plug-ins
- SNMP device probes
- device configuration management systems
- protocol mediators (SNMP to XML, SNMP to TL1, etc)
- SNMP manager simulators
- SNMP trap monitors
- SNMP polling engines
- and many more ...
Whether you are developing a large scale network manager, a single node management GUI or a simple SNMP trap monitor, the SNMP Manager SDK is the right tool for the job.
Key Features
The SNMP Manager 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 Manager SDK are:
- 100% Java, works with Java 2 SDK version 1.2 or greater
- high-performance SNMP message processing
- strongly-typed APIs (for understandability)
- supports runtime loading of new MIB metadata
- high-level SNMP manager API
- SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support
- fine grained session control (threading,queueing,buffering)
- both synchronous and asynchronous API support
- optimized for multithreaded applications
- support for Get, Set, GetNext, GetBulk and Inform requests
- listener based Trap and Inform handling
- support for GetNext and GetBulk based MIB walks
- built-in support for smart table retrieval (GetNext and GetBulk based)
- built-in for SNMP agent discovery API
- standard support for timeouts, retries and error handling
- high level components:
- table monitors
- object group monitors
- polling engine
- polling scheduler
- network explorer
- built-in support for the following transport protocols:
- UDP
- TCP
- Serial Port
- built-in support for the following authentication specs.:
- MD5
- SHA
- built-in support for the following privacy specs.:
- DES
- 3DES (Triple DES)
- AES128
- AES192
- AES256
- built-in manager API support for the following:
- USM
- USM with Diffie-Helman Key Change and Key Ignition
- includes the following commandline SNMP applications:
SnmpMibGen: Compile SNMP MIB files into metadata XmlToMib: Convert Monfox XML MIBs into SNMP MIBs SnmpGet: Perform an SNMP Get SnmpGetAll: Perform an SNMP Get if all table rows/columns SnmpGetNext: Perform an SNMP GetNext SnmpGetBulk: Perform an SNMP GetBulk SnmpSet: Perform an SNMP Set SnmpExplore: Perform an SNMP discovery operation SnmpGroupMonitor: Monitor a group of SNMP MIB objects SnmpTableMonitor: Monitor an SNMP MIB table SnmpWalk: Perform a SNMP MIB GetNext walk SnmpBulkWalk: Perform a SNMP MIB GetBulk walk SnmpTrapMonitor: Listen for SNMP Traps and Informs SnmpTrap: Send SNMP Traps SnmpTrapLogger: Log SNMP Traps to a log file SnmpInform: Perform an SNMP Inform operation SnmpUsm: Perform SNMP USM user administration SnmpVacm: Perform SNMP VACM view administration
