Product Description

Provides a general introduction to such key concepts as: modeling and development, textual conventions, domains and control fields, and versions and migration. CD ROM included.


From the Publisher

The first complete, practical insider's guide to writing SNMP MIBs. With this book, network professionals can learn how to design, define, write and update useful SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) that support standards-based network management. The book introduces SNMP MIBs -- documents that contain definitions of management information which allow systems to be remotely monitored, configured and controlled. Next, it presents a model of an SNMP-based management network and defines the SNMP management framework. Readers will walk through the construction of MIBs, including name space organization, MIB naming, maintenance, object semantics and object style, and other topics. Advanced techniques are presented, including tables within tables, multi-table relationships and linked lists. Readers learn how to analyze standard MIBs. Front-end and back-end MIB compilers are discussed, including SMIC, NetView/6000 SunNet Manager and HP OpenView. The book also includes a guide to MIB developer's resources.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT for Beginners!, May 8, 2002
By A Customer
I have read a pretty good portion of this book, but I just can't continue.

My task at work is to learn about SNMP and start monitoring our equipment. This is a simple task that should be fairly straightforward. Unfortunately, I haven't found any two resources that can even agree on the definition of a MIB. Not even this book, one that's dedicated to MIBs, has helped me out.

If you're looking for a good beginner's guide, don't waste your money on this book. If you don't know where to begin to compile MIBs, don't buy this book. Unless you deeply understand SNMP and are to the point where you feel you have to write MIBs, don't buy this book. You'll be sadly disappointed.

I'm sure this is a wonderful book for the right audience, and I respect the authors for their technical abilities. My problem is not with the book, but with the way the book is marketed within the SNMP community.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Money, January 22, 2000
I have read and reviewed most of these SNMP books. In general, they are not very good. This one is EXCELLENT. However, it is definitely for people developing mibs and not somebody looking to understand how SNMP works. It is a resource as an SNMP developer I could not live without.

2.0 out of 5 stars You better know SNMP before you read this book., September 22, 1998
By A Customer
I've been working with networks for almost a year now, a relative new comer to the field. However, I'm a degreed engineer from a pretty good school, and I've worked as an engineer for over six years. This book is for people who have worked with SNMP extensively for a number of years. This is definitely not an intro book, nor is it for anybody who just wants to gain a basic understanding of SNMP. I was lost after the second chapter.
