List of SNMP Agent Programming References

The list of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) programming references includes:

Refer to the AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference for information about the system commands.

Programming Commands

mosy	Converts the ASN.1 definitions of Structure and Identification of Management Information (SMI) and Management Information Base (MIB) modules into an object definition file for the snmpinfo command.
snmpinfo	Requests or modifies values of MIB variables managed by an SNMP agent.

Files and File Formats

mib.defs	Defines the MIB variables the SNMP agent should recognize and handle. The format of the /etc/mib.defs file is required by the snmpinfo command.
mibII.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the MIB variables as defined in RFC 1213.
smi.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions by which the SMI is defined as in RFC 1155.
snmpd.conf	Defines a sample configuration file for the snmpd agent.
ethernet.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the MIB variables defined in RFC 1398.
fddi.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the MIB variables defined in RFC 1512.
generic.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the MIB variables defined in RFC 1229.
ibm.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the IBM enterprise section of the MIB tree.
token-ring.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the MIB variables defined in RFC 1231.
unix.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for a set of MIB variables for memory buffer (mbuf) statistics, SNMP multiplexing (SMUX) peer information, and various other information.
view.my	Defines the ASN.1 definitions for the SNMP access list and view tables.
snmpd.peers	Defines a sample peers file for the snmpd agent.

SMUX Subroutines

getsmuxEntrybyidentity	Retrieves SMUX peers by object identifier.
getsmuxEntrybyname	Retrieves SMUX peers by name.
isodetailor	Initializes variables for various logging facilities.
_ll_log	Reports errors to log files.
ll_dbinit	Reports errors to log files.
ll_hdinit	Reports errors to log files.
ll_log	Reports errors to log files.
o_generic	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_igeneric	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_integer	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_ipaddr	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_number	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_specific	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
o_string	Encodes values retrieved from the MIB into the specified variable binding.
ode2oid	Returns a static pointer to the object identifier. If unsuccessful, the NULLOID value is returned.
oid2ode	Takes an object identifier and returns its dot-notation description as a string.
oid2prim	Encodes an object identifier structure into a presentation element.
oid_cmp	Manipulates the object identifier structure.
oid_cpy	Manipulates the object identifier structure.
oid_extend	Extends the base /usr/lib/libisode.a library subroutines.
oid_free	Manipulates the object identifier structure.
oid_normalize	Extends and adjusts the values of the object identifier structure entries for the base /usr/lib/libisode.a library subroutines.
prim2oid	Decodes an object identifier from a presentation element.
readobjects	Allows an SMUX peer to read the MIB variable structure.
s_generic	Sets the value of the MIB variable in the database.
smux_close	Ends communication with the SNMP agent.
smux_error	Creates a readable string from information found in the smux_errno global variable.
smux_free_tree	Frees the object tree when an SMUX tree is unregistered.
smux_init	Initiates the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket that the SMUX agent uses and clears the basic SMUX data structures.
smux_register	Registers a section of the MIB tree with the SNMP agent.
smux_response	Sends a response to a SNMP agent.
smux_simple_open	Sends the open protocol data unit (PDU) to the SNMP daemon.
smux_trap	Allows the SMUX peer to send traps to the SNMP agent.
smux_wait	Waits for a message from the SNMP agent.
sprintoid	Manipulates the object identifier structure.
str2oid	Manipulates the object identifier structure.
text2oid	Converts a text string into an object identifier.
text2obj	Converts a text string into an object.
text2inst	Retreives instances of variables from a character string.
name2inst	Retreives instances of variables from various forms of data.
next2inst	Retreives instances of variables from various forms of data.
nextot2inst	Retreives instances of variables from various forms of data.
