EMANATE®/Lite is a monolithic SNMP agent, which includes a powerful
development toolkit for adding MIB extensions to the agent at compile
time. EMANATE/Lite is ideally suited for use in embedded systems because
it provides full SNMP support with a minimal footprint.
Overview
EMANATE/Lite is the "traditional" monolithic compile-time extensible
SNMP agent. This simply means that in order to add new MIB variables to
the agent, it is necessary to have access to the source code, and to compile
and link in the new extensions to the MIB already supported by the agent.
EMANATE/Lite software provides the core SNMP protocol engine that should
be installed within each SNMP managed element or device. It receives and
responds to SNMP queries and commands issued from SNMP management stations.
EMANATE/Lite provides access to management information for each of the
managed protocol layers within the network element.
EMANATE/Lite from
SNMP Research can be compiled to support SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and
SNMPv3. This trilingual option preserves the investment in
current management technology while providing a smooth transition to
SNMPv3-based management.
Architecture
Features
EMANATE/Lite ...
- fully supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. This includes
support for security and administration, authentication, authorization,
access control, and privacy.
- is designed with modular architecture that eases the task of
porting EMANATE/Lite to new platforms.
- can be easily extended to provide support for additional MIB variables.
- includes Agent tools and automatic code generators, which
accelerate development by creating large portions of the code.
- provides method routines that are protocol independent but MIB
dependent.
- supports all MIB II variables, including read-write variables
(sets) that can be supported without altering the kernel or
device driver source code. The underlying platforms influence
which variables are available.
- has multi-phase set routines, which provide compliant write access
to the MIB variables.
- has a singly-threaded Agent that processes one Protocol Data Unit
(PDU) at a time (synchronous), first in, first out. The Agent parses
the PDU packet, processes it, and creates the response.
Packaging
The EMANATE/Lite package contains full source code and
MIB Tools.
