Discussion Groups | Rabbit-Semi | Re: SNMP Resources
This is a group for folks designing and programming embedded systems using the Rabbit Semiconductor C-programmable microcontroller. Rabbit Semi is a spin-off from Z-World who makes a variety of embedded modules and tools. This group is not affiliated with either Rabbit or Z-World, but is a user forum for sharing ideas, asking questions, flaunting knowledge, and other typical user group stuff. The Rabbit is a powerful uC, supported by a full-featured C-compiler.
Re: SNMP Resources - Steve Trigero - Apr 1 22:41:30 2008
I suppose a little of both, but at this point I'm trying to understand.
I've run the SNMP sample program in DC, and if you do an snmpwalk,
it gets all the parameters as advertised. But I don't understand traps
and I'm trying to understand how MIBs are written (syntax). I have a
MIB compiler that I purchased, and if I compile the MIBs supplied with
the sample program I get a compiler on each of the trap definitions/objects.
I've contacted Rabbit tech support, but their response is, if you can do a
successful snmpwalk then the program is working, so go away. No more
responses.
There's SNMP v1, v2, v2c?, and v3. I have no idea what the difference
is. We have a customer that is asking for v3 but willing to settle for v1
for now. And since this customer is about 50% of our business, guess
what management wants?
So I'm fishing for resources to get me up to speed.

Per Rabbit's recommendation, bought the book "Understanding SNMP MIBs", and I don't
particularly care for it. Are there other resources that any here could recommend for

Rabbit only supports v1, don't bother asking for anything newer (from what
i've gathered).
As kevin stated there are more security features in the other versions as
well
as features like "Tables" which several people have asked Rabbit for.
I would have to side with tech support on the response you got, there is no
"problem"
you are asking to be fixed...
As far as the MIB goes, I can't say i'll be of much help there, from the
sound of it
you purchased a program to deal with your MIBs, perahps they can provide
some
guidance on their software once you have some OIDs for them to work with?
Is your application working as you want it to? I'm still trying to tell how
'far along' you are
and where I might be able to help. Do you have an existing product that
you're trying
to add SNMP to? That may be fairly painless (maybe?) :)
But integrating that into your customers existing infrastructure I would
think would
be where the struggle would come in...
