Introduction:
 

After an Enterprise’s MIB design is finalized and fully validated, the next task is Agent software development. A number of issues need to be considered in selecting a development kit.

  • Targeted operating system (or systems)
  • Pre-existence of SNMP agents on those platforms
  • Embedded platforms or not
  • Tool cost vs. time-to-market (and market opportunity cost)
  • Protocol validation issues

Once a tool is selected, many common coding issues will be encountered. This intensive, one-day tutorial will prepare you to deal with these issues and allow you to proceed quickly to a deliverable product. Example topics include choosing how to best access and manage MIB-related data, and the number (and purposes) of agent code threads that may be needed. We will reveal a number of very surprising problems drawn from our own extensive SNMP experience related to deployed agents, followed by a discussion of agent testing strategies, descriptions of specific tests, and the presentation of a comprehensive test plan from a past project. You will learn the important details of syntax encoding for “get”, “set”, “trap” and other message types. The course will conclude with the review of a checklist for productizing Enterprise MIBs and agents.

This 1-2-day SNMP: Agent Development course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of telecommunication training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your eeds.
