This topic explains how to run the sample SNMP DPI client program, dpi_mvs_sample.c, installed in /usr/lpp/tcpip/samples. It can be run using the SNMP agents that support the SNMP-DPI interface as described in RFC 1592. (See Related protocol specifications for information about accessing RFCs.)

The sample implements a set of variables described by the DPISimple-MIB, a set of objects in the IBM® Research tree (under the 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.2.1.5 object ID prefix). See DPISimple-MIB descriptions for the object ID and type of each object.
