Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a "simple" set of operations
that allows you to more easily monitor and manage network devices like routers,
switches, servers, printers, and more. The information you can monitor with
SNMP is wide-ranging--from standard items, like the amount of traffic flowing
into an interface, to far more esoteric items, like the air temperature inside
a router. In spite of its name, though, SNMP is not especially simple to learn.
O'Reilly has answered the call for help with a practical introduction that shows
how to install, configure, and manage SNMP. Written for network and system administrators,
the book introduces the basics of SNMP and then offers a technical background
on how to use it effectively. Essential SNMP explores both commercial
and open source packages, and elements like OIDs, MIBs, community strings, and
traps are covered in depth. With five new chapters and various updates throughout,
this second edition now covers version 3 of SNMP. Other new topics include
- SNMPv3 and SNMPc
- The concepts behind network management and change management
- RRDTool and Cricket
- The use of scripts for a variety of tasks
- How Java can be used to create SNMP applications
- Net-SNMP's Perl module
The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing, with real examples, how to use
SNMP for system and network administration tasks. Administrators will come away
with ideas for writing scripts to help them manage their networks, create managed
objects, and extend the operation of SNMP agents.
Once demystified, SNMP is much more accessible. If you're looking for a way
to more easily manage your network, look no further than Essential SNMP,
2nd Edition.
About the Authors
Douglas R. Mauro lives outside of Rochester, New York, with his wife
Amy, daughter Kari, and cat Megabyte (a.k.a. Meg). He received a bachelor's
degree at the University of Albany, New York, and worked as a system administrator
for several years before becoming a project engineer with Sun Microsystems,
Inc. In addition to his consulting duties with Sun, he authors their internal
OneStop Sun Management Center page and has published several InfoDocs with them.
Computers are not just a way of life for Douglas, but a profound passion. He
feels extremely fortunate to be working in a field he truly loves.
Kevin J. Schmidt lives in Decatur, Georgia. He shares a home with his
significant other, Callie, their loving cats, Chester and Twiggy, two Peruvian
guinea pigs, two Litoria species White's tree frogs, and several poison
dart frogs.
Originally from Pensacola, Florida, Kevin spent several years studying computer
science at the University of West Florida. In late 1996 he was recruited by
MindSpring Enterprises (now known as Earthlink, Inc.), a national ISP based
in Atlanta, and subsequently left school to pursue his career. He spent four
years in network management and was the senior network management architect
for Earthlink. He left Earthlink to work at Netrail, a tier-1 Internet backbone
provider. While at Netrail, Kevin was in charge of the company's network management
architecture. These days Kevin works as a software engineer for Guarded.Net,
a network security start-up in Atlanta.
Kevin's first computer was a Commodore 64. He began
running Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) at age 11 and later became interested
in computer networking in general. His other computing interests include Linux,
MySQL, and programming in C, Java, Perl, and PHP. Kevin will soon have his private
pilot's license and plans to become instrument and multiengine rated soon thereafter.
He recently discovered the LEGOŽ MINDSTORMS™ Robotics Invention System,
where he uses Dave Baum's Not Quite C (NQC) for Linux to control his robotic
creations.
