Simple Network Management Protocol APIs

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) APIs include the:

• SNMP Subagent APIs
• SNMP Manager APIs

Before using the SNMP APIs, read the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Support manual. It describes how to configure a System i^® product to use SNMP and discusses SNMP agents, subagents, managers, and management information base (MIBs). The manual also discusses "Using the SNMP Subagent DPI API."

You can get more information about SNMP and Distributed Protocol Interface (DPI^®) from Requests for Comment (RFC) on the Internet. A file called ways_to_get_rfcs has details about obtaining RFCs. To receive these details send an E-MAIL message as follows:

To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
Subject: gettingrfcs
help: ways_to_get_rfcs

DPI is described in RFC 1592, "Simple Network Management Protocol Distributed Protocol Interface," Version 2.0.
