Hi Jeroen, My x86 is connected via PCIe to an Intel's device. This device(ASIC) is an ethernet switch (fm10k) Intel provides a linux library + device driver for managing the switch (e.g: read port status, set port speed). I want to run snmpd on the x86 and fill the TODO with the relevant Intel's API.
Intel does not provide any SNMP infrastructure for this device. I think it will be great if the x86 will run snmpd with some customization and will monitor\manage the switch device. Is it possible ? What SNMP agent runs in all commercial switches. Is it not snmpd ?
