Perl SNMP Daemon

by Hrunting (Pilgrim)
on Jan 16, 2001 at 20:54 UTC ( [id://52271]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hrunting has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

We're in the process of doing some heavy SNMP testing and we'd like to set up an SNMP daemon that we can extend very easily to return specific bits of information. The ideal candidate for this would be a perl daemon since we could extend it very fast. Does anyone know of such a program?

    I don't know of a perl SNMP daemon, but the UC-Davis SNMP daemon (now called Net-SNMP) is free and extensible.... I've used perl programs to extend it before.

      Yes, I'm well versed on the CPAN SNMP modules. What I am wondering is if anyone's written a perl SNMP daemon, the machine that sits on the other side of those modules' connections and receives and processes SNMP requests.

SNMP Object Oriented Message Decoding
by tedv (Pilgrim) on Jan 17, 2001 at 01:44 UTC
    I wrote some SNMP modules while working at Motorola. The modules let you send in raw network data and it would translate it into an SNMP message object, along with a decent API for accessing the data. It was extendable enough to support any SNMP message format, including the volatile SNMP 3 standard. (Sorry I had to rewrite the wheel, but I couldn't find an SNMP package that let another do the network connection management-- we needed a program that select()ed on multiple connections, some of which were SNMP and others using other protocols).

    The downside is that I didn't think of submitting the module to CPAN, to technically it's still Motorola property and I you probably couldn't get your hands on it unless you worked for them. Of course, you're probably only interested in that module if you wanted to mix SNMP with other protocols at the same time. It sounds like some of the other CPAN modules would suit you better. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll see what I can get my hands on...

    This node should die. I read the question wrongly.
      He said SNMP not SMTP.
