| Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get my hand on a copy.
By the way, I went plowing through the RFCs, and found RFC 1157 (also
known as STD 15), "A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)". Is
this the basis for all other SNMP work?
I saw a number of SNMP V2 documents. Is this apparent new standard
'soup' yet? Are our products built to SNMPV2?
Thanks for the education!

Yes, this RFC describes the protocol. RFCs 1156 (MIB-II) and 1155 (SMI)
are also important in understanding SNMP.

Nope. There's very little market acceptance right now. The working group
is progressing very slowly toward simplifying SNMPv2. Turns out that
security (SNMPv2's biggest feature) just isn't that simple.
Many vendors have SNMPv2 agents "almost ready to go". There will likely be
a lot of SNMPv2 product announcements this year.
> Are our products built to SNMPV2?
No, we're waiting to be late to the SNMPv2 party.

| Some more recent information on SNMPv2. The protocol is undergoing
significant change due to complexity of its administrative model.
It is primarily because of this that it has not gained market
acceptance. Work is under way in the IETF SNMP standards committee to
simplify it, and make it more compatible with SNMPv1. In general,
there are a couple of things that v2 gets you: security (really the
primary benefit); and a couple new features (most interesting of which
is the addition of a new primitive to move large tables efficiently).
