PowerTCP SNMP Tool
Dart puts the 'Simple' back into the Simple Network Management
Protocol! SNMP version 1 and 2 Agent and Manager Controls use a
suite of supporting objects: a Mib Object loads Mib files, an SNMP
Message Object encodes/decodes packets, a Trap Object presents Traps,
and a Variable Object builds messages.
- Manager Control - Use this control to build SNMP managers.
Handles the details of the SNMP protocol, letting you focus on
the user interface.
- Agent Control - Use this control to build SNMP agents.
Provides an easy-to-use interface that handles the details of
processing and responding to a manager's request.
- Service Control - Use this control with the Agent Control
to build an SNMP agent that runs as an NT service.
Benefits & Features
- Supports SNMP versions 1 and 2.
- Requires no other system support besides basic Winsock transport.
- No knowledge of SNMP message formats required.
- Reads MIB files and compiles them into easy-to-use objects.
- Agent control handles all Get/Set requests and error reporting.
Automatically switches between v1 and v2 messages.
- Manager control has built-in timeout mechanism for requests
so you don't have to implement your own.
- Build a message by setting properties, adding variables (OIDs)
using simple Variable Objects, and sending the message. It doesn't
get any easier!
- All the benefits listed in the PowerTCP Overview.
Sample Projects
- MIB Viewer for VB6 – Allows user to read a MIB file and browse
the contents in human readable form.
- Simple SNMP Agent – Includes service support (NT only). Projects
are included for Visual Basic 5/6, Visual C 6, PowerBuilder 6.
- SNMP Manager – Supports queries for basic variables, either
by discovery or specific address. Also shows how to set values.
Projects included for Visual Basic 5/6, Delphi 4, PowerBuilder
6.
- SNMP Manager for VB6 – Uses the TreeView control to create an
explorer-like view of available SNMP Managers. Incorporates the
MIB Object.
- Trap Catcher for Access97 – Database that listens for and stores
traps.
- Trap Catcher for VB6 – Service that listens for and logs traps.
- VarChecker – Allows users to construct a request from a list
of available MIBs and view the response. Visual Basic 5/6.
