3579.0. "API for SNMP commands" by LASCPM::PALASE () Tue Aug 18 1992 00:51

    I need to be able to perform the following under program control
    and I need to known if Decmcc  provides an SNMP API for
    
    GET-NEXT
    SET
    TRAP
    
    I have looked at the SNMP AM but it does not seem to have an ability to
    access the SNMP commands from a user application. I am currently looking
    at modules from CMU (public domain sw) that provide an API for SNMP, but
    they have been tested on sun/hp not a VAX.
    
    I will be accessing info from a cisco router and based on inputs from
    traps or operator input I need to set params outlined in the cisco mib.
    I also need to access stats dealing with the router.
    
    
    Thanks fot the input

3579.1No response?????LASCPM::PALASEThu Aug 20 1992 18:064
    I guess from the lack of response that DECmcc can't do this and thus we
    cant sell the product to meet the stated objectives!!!!!!!

Frank,

	Currently there is no snmp api available in DECmcc.  The snmp access
module provides snmp capability to DECmcc via the mcc_call() interface.  This
implies that only "tightly" coupled management modules have access to snmp
protocol capabilities.

	We recognize the need for an alternate interface to snmp capabilities 
that will provide a mechanism for "loosely" coupled applications to run with
DECmcc.

	We are in the process of sorting out the details of what this means and
how we can solve this problem.  We are looking at several things at the moment
including the possibility of layering a high level api on top of one of the
existing snmp packages available either via public domain (cmu) or buy-out
(snmp research).
