Overview
A Superior SNMP COM Library
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) classes seamlessly integrate threaded communications, security, and encoding/decoding so you can quickly develop custom SNMP applications. This development tool requires fewer resources, provides more flexibility, and elicits code that is easy to re-use and maintain. Supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3.
Consulting and Custom Development
From MIB creation to complete SNMP systems, let our experienced staff help with your SNMP project. Here are some of the solutions we have delivered.
Manage network devices and remote information
- Manager ActiveX control queries agents, receives traps from agents, and sends/receives inform messages
- Discover agents and query their Management Information Base (MIB)
- Get an entire table with a single method ... ToTable() returns a 2 dimensional table array (supports sparse tables)
- Communicate with agents in parallel (on multiple threads) or serially (on a single thread)
Respond to SNMP requests and send traps
- Agent ActiveX control receives, decodes and responds to Get, GetNext, GetBulk and Set requests
- Create and send trap messages
- Create default response messages that can be modified as desired
- Automatically updates agent MIB
Comprehensive Security
- Security class provides seamless SNMP v3 integration
- MD5, SHA authentication support
- DES, Triple DES, AES128, AES 192, AES 256 encryption support
- Automatic discovery of authoritative engine ID, time, and boots (values are automatically cached and reused)
Use standard and custom MIBs
- Load and parse MIB files
- MibNode class maps OIDs to the variable IDs found in PDUs
- Intrinsic support provided for standard SNMPv2 SMI MIBs
Interoperability Standards
- Supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
- Compatible with CISCO, MG_Soft, NET-SNMP and other SNMP products
- Compatible with FIPS 140-2 standards
- Complies with SNMP RFCs for version 1 (1155, 1156, 1157, 1212, 1213, 1215, 2863, 3418), version 2 (1901, 1907, 1908, 3416, 3417), and version 3 (3410, 3411, 3412, 3413, 3414, 3415, 3416, 3417, 3418, 3584, 3826, 5343)
COM Classes
- Simple Component Object Model (COM) classes and controls are intuitive and easy-to use
- Royalty-free distribution of 32-bit and 64-bit native code dll's (Dart.SnmpAx.dll and Dart.CoreAx.dll)
- Supporting classes (IPEndPoint, SnmpMessage, AuthoritativeEngine, MibNode, MibTrap, Security, Variable, VariableList) provide objects that simplify SNMP usage
- Requires no system services beyond basic network transport (independent of Windows SNMP Service)
