-
- The ISODE maintainers are pleased to announce an upgrade for the SNMP
- software found in ISODE-7.0. This is an upgrade to just the SNMP
- software making negligable changes to the ISODE-7.0 OSI stacks. This is
- an interim release of this package and contains several new SNMP
- features, listed below.
-
- Bugs should be reported to bug-isode@xtel.co.uk
-
-
- The distribution is relative to ISODE 7.0 and should be installed on
- top of that. Full details are in the distribution.

-
- Features of UPGRADE-1 to the 4BSD/ISODE 7.0 SNMP Package
-
- 1. MIB checking
-
- Mosy has had several bug fixes made. It now is somewhat "tighter" in its
- analysis of MIBs.
-
- 2. New MIBs
-
- This summer's batch of MIBs were loaded into the package for the aid of
- people writing management station tools. The default environment now
- contains 1717 objects from 27 MIB modules. The management tools
- normally read compiled object information during initialization.
- Although this is relatively fast, it can introduce some delay if a large
- number of objects are read. To remedy this, there is a special new form
- of MIB compiling requiring virtually zero initialization time. This
- technique is now used by both the snmpi and SNMP-capable gawk programs.
-
- 3. 4BSD agent
-
- The previous SNMP agent for 4BSD supported very few writable variables.
- The new agent will allow those variables, supported by the 4BSD kernel, and
- marked read-write in the Internet-standard MIB, to be set.
