TargetSNMP™ - Embedded SNMP Agent

An embedded SNMP agent, this embedded network management solution is available with complete MIB-II and partial RMON integration for TargetTCP. SNMPv3 adds security to SNMPv2c with user, view and notification based access controls for defining tiered levels of access, including the notifications managers can receive. Includes a powerful MIB simulation tool for Windows that can generate source code from MIBs and configurations. SNMP uses UDP, a connectionless protocol, and is designed for latent and loss prone networks where careful and efficient management designs are required. SNMP adds flow control to UDP along with user and access features for secure and uniform embedded device management across even the most unreliable communication channels.

Shared C and C++ API allows for unique porting advantages

• Well organized and commented ANSI C or C++ classes
  
• Variable and function names include prefix to ensure no conflicting identifiers
  

Compact and Optimized code base

• Relative next technology speeds GetBulk, VACM and other repeated lookups
  
• Under 100KB, half being the DES library
  
• Memory management reuses heap allocations for speed
  
• Static memory compile time option can enforce SNMP tree size limit
  

Easy interface for extending the SNMP agent

• MIB II included
  
• partial RMON support including Alarm MIB
  
• Alarm MIB allows theshold based real time variable monitoring
  
• Source code templates for adding new types and objects
  
• Tutorial, simulator and examples included
  
• Simulation tool to generate MIB objects and types into TargetSNMP source code
  
• Run time C configuration files can be generated from working simulation
  

Under further development

• Diffie-Hellman key exchange
  
• SNMP Proxy
  
• Common interface to allow management designs to deploy on SNMP and/or UPnP
