> How can one determine whether the discovered device is a PC or not?
First, you'll need to define what it means to be a PC. Essentially,
what are the characteristics that make a host a "PC"? Processor type(s)?
Operating system(s)? Amount of memory? How can you tell that this "PC" is
not, say, a router running Linux?
Once you have answered that question, your answer can be converted into
a simple decision flow chart. For each question, you will want to know
something about the target system - find that data in a standard MIB and query
that data. You must provide for the case where that data is not available,
either because no SNMP agent is running, the running agent does not support the
desired MIB, or you do not have permission to read the data.
That's the general idea, anyway.
HTH,
Mike
