This chapter describes how to develop JEUS SNMP Manager applications and how to configure them.
SNMP Managers that conforms to the SNMP (SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3) standard can be integrated with JEUS SNMP.
Refer to the SNMP Management Framework related specification (J2EE management 1.1 specification) for more information about SNMP.
Application types vary depending on the occasion. This section shows a client program that uses the SNMP4J API.
SNMP4J is an open source API and provides SNMP implementation classes for J2SE 1.4 or higher. The SNMP client application, that uses SNMP4J API, must perform the following steps:
Set PDU (Protocol Data Unit).
Set the SNMP object OID and the PDU type.
Set the target.
Set the address and port number of the target, where SNMP information will be retrieved from, and set the SNMP version. Since JEUS SNMP uses UDP, use the UDPAddress.
Create SNMP message object.
Create a message to send.
Send and receive the message.
Send a message and receive a response.
The following is a SNMP client application program example that uses the SNMP4J API.
