Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a "simple" set
of operations that allows you to more easily monitor and manage
network devices like routers, switches, servers, printers, and
more. The information you can monitor with SNMP is
wide-ranging--from standard items, like the amount of traffic
flowing into an interface, to far more esoteric items, like the air
temperature inside a router. In spite of its name, though, SNMP is
not especially simple to learn.
O'Reilly has answered the call for help with a practical
introduction that shows how to install, configure, and manage SNMP.
Written for network and system administrators, the book introduces
the basics of SNMP and then offers a technical background on how to
use it effectively. "Essential SNMP" explores both commercial and
open source packages, and elements like OIDs, MIBs, community
strings, and traps are covered in depth. The book contains five new
chapters and various updates throughout. Other new topics
include:
Expanded coverage of SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3
Expanded coverage of SNMPc
The concepts behind network management and change management
RRDTool and Cricket
The use of scripts for a variety of tasks
How Java can be used to create SNMP applications
Net-SNMP's Perl module
The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing, with real
examples, how to use SNMP for system and network administration
tasks. Administrators will come away with ideas for writing scripts
to help them manage their networks, create managed objects, and
extend the operation of SNMP agents.
Once demystified, SNMP is much more accessible. If you're
looking for a way to more easily manage your network, look no
further than "Essential SNMP, 2nd Edition,"
