Apple has committed to SNMP as its protocol choice for network management. And with the addition of the Macintosh System agent, it becomes possible for SNMP consoles to query Macintosh computers about the numbers and types of installed NuBus cards, free disk space, printer driver version numbers, etc.
Because of the extensible design of the MacSNMP architecture, we encourage you to write SNMP agents for your applications, extensions and drivers.
This folder contains the MacSNMP developer's kit. It has all the interface files, documentation, demo and test software that are necessary to start development of agents for the MacSNMP architecture.
This folder also contains the MacSNMP transport developer's kit. It contains all the additional information you would need to implement SNMP over transports other than AppleTalk or TCP (which are supplied by Apple).
In order to install a working SNMP client on your Macintosh, you need to install the AppleTalk Connection and/or TCP/IP Connection product software. These products are included on E.T.O. - an alias has been provided for your convenience.
The current version of MacSNMP (v1.1) is compatible with version 1.1.2 of the Apple Shared Library Manager. This folder contains all components of ASLM 1.1.2 needed to develop MacSNMP agents.
The folder MacSNMP Update 1.1.1 contains a new version of the SNMP Macintosh Agent that fixes a problem with the gestaltTable with System 7.5.
