Getting started with SNMP4J

I need to make an agent in SNMP4J, but the documentation on how to get started is pretty poor. Does anyone have any experience with SNMP4J and 开发者_运维百科could give me an idea on how to get started? Thanks.

You can download the source code for SNMP4JAgent here:

http://www.snmp4j.org/html/download.html

The source code includes a sample agent -- look in the org.snmp4j.agent.example package for all of the related classes.

http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/example/SampleAgent.html

One way of getting started would be to create an agent using the example code and then modify it to suit your needs. The JavaDoc describing each of the classes is a bit terse, but it's complete.

Good documentation of SNMPv3 implementation using SNMP4j libraries is really hard to find. There are no working examples of SNMPv3 agents in the official documentation. I wrote a basic SNMP Agent that can connect using SNMPv3 protocol, and perform GET and SET operations on the server.

Adding other operations such as GETBulk will be relatively easy once you understand how GET and SET works. Let me know if you need more clarifications in the comments.

Here is a great link that describes the snmp class which is the core of snmp4j

http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/package-summary.html

Also take a look at the SnmpRequest.java for a quick example
