DESCRIPTION:
============
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol
for monitoring the health and welfare of network equipment
(eg. routers), computer equipment and even devices like
UPSs. Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement SNMP v1,
SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using both IPv4 and IPv6. The suite includes:
 * Command-line applications to:
 * retrieve information from an SNMP-capable device, either using
 single requests (snmpget, snmpgetnext), or multiple requests
 (snmpwalk, snmptable, snmpdelta).
 * manipulate configuration information on an SNMP-capable device
 (snmpset).
 * retrieve a fixed collection of information from an
 SNMP-capable device (snmpdf, snmpnetstat, snmpstatus).
 * convert between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs, and
 display MIB content and structure (snmptranslate).
 * A graphical MIB browser (tkmib), using Tk/perl.
 * A daemon application for receiving SNMP notifications
 (snmptrapd). Selected notifications can be logged (to syslog,
 the NT Event Log, or a plain text file), forwarded to another
 SNMP management system, or passed to an external application.
 * An extensible agent for responding to SNMP queries for
 management information (snmpd). This includes built-in support
 for a wide range of MIB information modules, and can be extended
 using dynamically loaded modules, external scripts and commands,
 and both the SNMP multiplexing (SMUX) and Agent Extensibility
 (AgentX) protocols.
 * A library for developing new SNMP applications, with both C and
 perl APIs.
CYGWIN NOTES:
=============
 * The snmpd daemon does not provide much useful information.
 Installing it as a service under Cygwin is left as an exercise
 for the user.
QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
