AdventNet SNMP API - Free Edition
-
Version
4
AdventNet SNMP API offers a comprehensive development
toolkit for SNMP-based network management applications.
AdventNet's SNMP stack comprises a set of powerful Java
SNMP library to build real-time applications for
monitoring and tracking network elements that are
reliable, scalable, and OS independent.The Java SNMP
library provides off-the-shelf components for trap and
table handling along with basic SNMP operations, such
as SNMP GET, SNMP GETNEXT, SNMP GETBULK, and SNMP SET.
These components enable simple and rapid development
and deployment of SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
management applications.The SNMP management application
(manager) built using the Java-based SNMP API can
receive SNMP traps, which can be processed based on
predefined criteria for effective SNMP management.
AdventNet SNMP API completely supports SNMPv3, as it is
compliant with RFC 3411, 3412, 3413, 3414, and 3415.
AdventNet SNMP API provides an elegant way of
implementing the security and access controls. Users
can also define and implement their own security and
access control model. Default implementation of USM and
VACM based security models are offered using these
frameworks. Also, SNMP API has the provision to store
the v3 configuration data in a database. This is
particularly useful when managing large number of
SNMPv3 devices via AdventNet SNMP API. It also supports
co-existence, notification filtering, and proxy
forwarding; thus confirming to the RFC 2573 and 2576.
SNMP API can be used with two-tier as well as
three-tier management applications. In the two-tier
architecture, the management applications directly
communicate with the agents. In the three-tier
architecture, the management applications communicate
with the agents through a manager-server. For building
highly scalable management applications, three-tier
architecture is the best option.
