Working with SNMP

Net-SNMP - Unix and CGU/ Linux SNMP tools and Agent. Has Windows Agent to offer an option other then the MS version. The cygwin utilities work very well.

GetIF
Windows GUI, lets you query adn browse mibs - a great Windows tool.

Here is a great site, they sell pro versions of SNMP
Search for and download Mibs

Graphically view and download mibs, this link is for the F5 BigIP

Usage notes, I found that Windows XP and cygwin Net-SNMP utilities share Windows enviroment variables which detail where mibs are stored. I found this when working with a specific SNMP tool and not seeing all mibs being processed, to get both tools to use the mibs I changed the Windows enviroment values.



MIBDIRS=C:\mibs


MIBS=all
