- I have the same book, I'm about 2/3rds the way through it, and it is
- a VERY good book. IMHO! I haven't dealt with SNMP before, so I needed
- a lot of the detail and history information provided. It also provides
- pointers to other information that would be needed if you were going to
- do either very strange things, or something requiring deep detail.
-
- I really liked the "[soap...]"-box comments. They give you a much better
- flavor of why things are the way they are, instead of just sticking you
- with "this is the way it is and thou shalt follow the rules!".
-
- Enjoy! (- from a neophyte SNMP user/manager -)
