<p><b>S</b>imple <b>N</b>etwork <b>M</b>anagement <b>P</b>rotocol (<b>SNMP</b>) is a widely used protocol for monitoring the health and welfare of network equipment (eg. routers), computer equipment and even devices like UPSs. Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1157.txt">SNMP v1</a>, <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1901.txt">SNMP v2c</a> and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2571.txt">SNMP v3</a> using both IPv4 and IPv6. The suite includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Command-line applications to:
<ul>
<li>retrieve information from an SNMP-capable device,
either using single requests (<a href="/docs/man/snmpget.html">snmpget</a>,
<a href="/docs/man/snmpgetnext.html">snmpgetnext</a>),
or multiple requests (<a href="/docs/man/snmpwalk.html">snmpwalk</a>,
<a href="/docs/man/snmptable.html">snmptable</a>, <a href="/docs/man/snmpdelta.html">snmpdelta</a>).</li>
<li>manipulate configuration information on an SNMP-capable device
(<a href="/docs/man/snmpset.html">snmpset</a>).</li>
<li>retrieve a fixed collection of information from an SNMP-capable
device (<a href="/docs/man/snmpdf.html">snmpdf</a>,
<a href="/docs/man/snmpnetstat.html">snmpnetstat</a>,
<a href="/docs/man/snmpstatus.html">snmpstatus</a>).</li>
<li>convert between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs,
and display MIB content and structure (<a href="/docs/man/snmptranslate.html">snmptranslate</a>).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A graphical MIB browser (<a href="/images/tkmib.jpg">tkmib</a>), using Tk/perl.</li>
<li>A daemon application for receiving SNMP notifications (<a href="/docs/man/snmptrapd.html">snmptrapd</a>).
Selected notifications can be logged (to syslog, the NT Event Log, or
a plain text file), forwarded to another SNMP management system, or
passed to an external application.</li>
<li>An extensible agent for responding to SNMP queries for management
information (<a href="/docs/man/snmpd.html">snmpd</a>). This includes built-in support for a wide range
of MIB information modules, and can be extended using dynamically
loaded modules, external scripts and commands, and both the SNMP
multiplexing (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1227.txt">SMUX</a>) and Agent Extensibility (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2741.txt">AgentX</a>) protocols.</li>
<li>A library for developing new SNMP applications, with both C and perl APIs.</li>
</ul>
<p>Net-SNMP is available for many Unix and Unix-like operating systems and also for Microsoft Windows. Note: Functionality can vary
depending on the operating system. Please see the <a href="/docs/readmefiles.html">README files</a> for information specific to your platform.</p>
<p><b>The <a href="/docs/man/">documentation section</a> contains detailed information on command
line tools, installation, configuration etc.</b></p>
<p><b>If you are new to Net-SNMP or SNMP in general, then a good place to start is the <a href="/wiki/index.php/Tutorials">tutorial section</a>.</b></p>
<p><b>The <a href="/download.html">download section</a> contains the source code and binaries for various platforms.</b></p>
<p>Please see our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp">project development pages</a> located at Sourceforge as
well.</p>
