SNMP Plugin

Repo Name

snmp

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is used for collecting information from, and configuring, network devices, such as switches, routers, printers, and servers on an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

The SNMP Project address the need for a southbound plugin that allows applications and controller services to interact with devices using SNMP. The SNMP southbound plugin will allow applications acting as an SNMP Manager to interact with devices that support an SNMP agent.

Scope

The SNMP Southbound Plugin project includes:

  • SNMPv1 support

  • SNMPv2 support

  • SNMPv3 support

  • Simple API invoked as a RPC

  • Simple API that allows applications to perform the following functions:

  1. GetRequest

  2. SetRequest

  3. GetNextRequest

  4. GetBulkRequest

  5. Trap support

  6. InformRequest

Dependencies

The SNMP project has no dependencies on other projects.
