Yes - as I said, it hasn't been maintained or developed for some time. But the first task is to design your MIB, and this is a reasonable starting point. Look at how this implementation has tackled it, and think about where things might be improved or extended. > For the other parts like LAN,WLAN e Routing, If they are covered > by net-snmp agent, > How do I query them? > Is there some special file.conf or MIBS to configure? No - most of the network-level information is part of the standard agent. How you query them depends on what information you are interested in. But the 'ifTable' and 'ip', 'tcp'. 'usp' groups are probably a good start for LAN statistics. Routing information is available via the ipRouteTable (and subsequent revisions). > > > For example, let's take the Firewall example... > > Well the first thing to do would be to analyse the requirements of > > both monitoring and managing iptables and netfilter, and come up > > with a design for the MIB. > ok, So do you think is better to design a MIB file to deal with? You have *got* to have a MIB to work with. That's the basic starting point of SNMP design. How else can you implement a MIB module, if you haven't decided what information it needs to contain? You should no more contemplate implementing a MIB module without a MIB file, than you would consider coding an application, without first having some form of design for it! Until you've got a MIB to work with, don't even *think* about coding.... Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
