Constructors

o Snmp 
 public Snmp(short cacheSize)
Creation of client

Parameters:
eter - cacheSize - sets the size of the cache of connections to multiple machines.
o Snmp 
 public Snmp()
Creation of client, default size of cache of 5.

Methods

o readFile 
 public void readFile(String file) throws IOException, SnmpMibException, FileNotFoundException
Read the SNMP objects from this file into memory. The file is a serializer version of the Managed Object Definitions.

o readMibFile 
 public void readMibFile(String file) throws SnmpMibException, FileNotFoundException
Read the SNMP objects from this file into memory. The file is a MIB file that contains all the managed objects.

o setCommunityName 
 public void setCommunityName(String name)
Set the community name that is going to be used.

o setTimeOut 
 public void setTimeOut(int seconds)
Set timeout for SNMP response to seconds.

o dumpMib 
 public void dumpMib()
Dump out MIB for debugging

o get 
 public Type get(String address,
                 String variable,
                 int instance) throws SnmpException, UnknownHostException, IOException, SocketException
SNMP Get Operation. Get the value of the variable and instance from the SNMP agent at address. It's value is returned as a Type. Exceptions are thrown if the operation is unsuccessful.

o getNext 
 public Type getNext(String address,
                     String variable,
                     int instance,
                     StringBuffer newVariable) throws SnmpException, UnknownHostException, IOException, SocketException
SNMP GetNext Operation. Get the value of the variable and instance from the SNMP agent at address. It's value is returned in result, the next variable in the agents MIB hierachy is returned in nextVariable. A exception is generated if the operation is unsuccessful.

o getNext 
 public Type getNext(String address,
                     String variable,
                     StringBuffer result) throws SnmpException, UnknownHostException, IOException, SocketException
SNMP GetNext Operation. Get the value of the variable from the SNMP agent at address. It's value is returned in result, the next variable in the agents MIB hierachy is returned in nextVariable. A exception is generated if a problem occurs. This same SNMP operation as the one above, but it differs that only an ID is given which could or could not have an instance attached to it

o walk 
 public void walk(String address,
                  String variable,
                  Vector result) throws SnmpException, UnknownHostException, IOException, SocketException
Performs a multiple SNMP GetNext starting at variable in the MIB hierachy to the SNMP agent at address. Results are returned in the Vector result, which has elements of arrays of two elements, the first element in the array is a String which has the object name, the second element is a Type object with the value of the variable.

o setValue 
 public boolean setValue(String address,
                         String variable,
                         int instance,
                         String value) throws SnmpException, UnknownHostException, IOException, SocketException
Performs the SNMP Set operation. Set the value of the variable of instance to value at SNMP agent at address A exception is generated when the operation was unsuccessful.

o main 
 public static void main(String args[])
Test Harness
