Can we define custom messages in SNMP

1 New Member
Hi,

I am new to SNMP and am currently required to design an SNMP based NMS. SNMPv2 has a predefined number of messages that can be sent to an agent (like get,getnext,get bulk,set etc.). Is there a way to extend these messages or define new kinds of messages.

Can I send a new code (other than those defined by the SNMP protocol) in the "Message-type" field of an SNMP message if I knew the agent would be able to understand it ? Is there any problem with this technique ?

Hi,

As you say, SNMP uses Set, Get, Notify, etc. messages to transfer data between SNMP managers and agents.

You would normally want to package up any data you want to send as Variables, which are normally defined within a MIB (Management Information Base).

There are commercial products available to do this. You might check out http://www.dart.com.

Hi, I'm looking for a high-performance SNMP manager toolkit (SNMPv1 / v2, GET / GETNEXT / GETBULK) I can use with Python on Windows2K/XP. I wonder if anyone has got any suggestions? Commercial software is fine, as it's for a specialised in-house application. I've tried PySNMP which, while a fine piece of code (I've learnt a lot looking through it!), it's fairly CPU intensive in my application. I've also tried using UCDSNMP via...

Is it possible to connect to devices and read SNMP data with ASP? I did a search and all I could find was utilities for sale to do it, wondered if it can be done using straight ASP. We are using InterDev 6, IIS5 on W2KServer. Thanks!

Hi, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.X. I'm writing command-line PHP scripts for the first time. I get the messages below. What do they mean? Are these operating system library modules, or something in PHP that I don't have? Do I need to install more Linux packages? Or adjust PHP in some way?
