This module differs from existing SNMP packages in that it is
|
|
completely stand-alone, i.e. you don't need to have another SNMP
|
|
package such as CMU SNMP. It is also written entirely in Perl, so you
|
|
don't have to compile any C modules. It uses the Perl 5 Socket.pm
|
|
module and should therefore be very portable, even to non-Unix systems.
|
|
|
|
The SNMP operations currently supported are "get", "get-next", and
|
|
"set", as well as trap generation and reception.
|
|
|
|
For an excellent example of the type of application this is useful
|
|
for, see Tobias Oetiker's ``mrtg'' (Multi Router Traffic Grapher)
