Koshna SNMP Manager Toolkit

The SNMP Protocol stack supports SNMP versions V1, V2c & V3 . Support for version 3 includes the implementation of the User Security Module with DES for privacy & MD5 & SHA1 for authentication and the View based Access Control Module for authorization.

The stack is integrated with the SNMP V2, Target, Notification, Community, VACM & USM MIBs to allow for gathering protocol engine statistics and to remotely configure the parameters used by an SNMP entity for the generation of SNMP messages and notifications and also the security parameters.

The stack is designed to allow the different modules (both on the lines of functionality & SNMP versions) to be plugged in & out as needed.

The stack & all api  is designed to allow log4j to be plugged in to provide highly configurable logging capabilities.

The stack implementation is compatible with jdk1.1.x & higher.

The SNMP Manager API provides the base classes required in implementing a manager like base classes for the common MIB elements, trap receivers etc. The API provides the base classes to implement proxies so that its users can deal with higher level constructs like groups, tables, rows, columns etc instead of OIDs and similarly with simple getter/setter methods instead of snmp request/responses etc.

The manager api also include classes for creating SNMP sessions with the snmp agents.It also provides classes(using the Observer design pattern) to receive SNMP traps & inform messages of all 3 SNMP versions.

The Koshna Manager Proxy Generator can be used to load a MIB and  generate the java proxies extending/using the framework APIs.

The tool can be used to generate

• Proxies for developing SNMP Manager Applications.
