Fusion SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol
Fusion Network Management Protocols are:
- SNMP v2c (SNMP v1 & v2 with MIB Compiler)
- SNMP v3 (SNMP v1, v2, & v3 with MIB Compiler)
The FuIon Embedded Networking Suite of protocols provides a complete protocol stack and run-time environment required to support an SNMP Protocol agent within an embedded system. The Fusion SNMP includes examples of device drivers, complete 'C' source code of SNMP agent, full MIB II agent support, and Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) MIB compiler. It's modular design allows it to run with virtually any TCP/IP stack.
Fusion Embedded SNMP Protocol enables a SNMP developer to generate C source code directly from MIB files. These files may be RFC listed or enterprise specific, which can be easily added to the SNMP agent by modifying a single source file. The MIB compiler strips comments and verifies the syntax of the compiled files. The MIB compiler consists of 3 parts:
- MIB Stripper - strips RFC's comments to reveal a MIB module
- SMICng - parses ASN.1 notation defined for use with SNMP and creates various textual output
- MCG - MIB Code Generator
MIB Code Generator (MCG), based on SMICng textual output, produces C source and header files, which are ready to include in Fusion SNMP build. C source files provide generated stub functions that should be filled by the developer, thus speeding the development time.
