DESCRIPTION:
PETER E. He played a major role in the development of SNMP. MELLQUIST is a lead engineer at Hewlett-Packard's Roseville Networks Division, Network Management Section.
It introduces SNMP++, Hewlett-Packard's new API for simplifying SNMP applications development using C++ and object-oriented techniques. The book concludes with a series of example applications, with code provided on accompanying CD-ROM. It introduces each new class in the SNMP++ class library, shows how they all work together, and covers cross-platform issues, extensibility and reuse. In particular, this book is ideal for HP OpenView developers.. It covers the entire development lifecycle, from analysis through design and implementation. This book shows you how to use SNMP++ to build network management applications that are highly portable, powerful, easy-to-use, reliable and extensible - and get them to market more quickly than ever before.Unlike other books on SNMP which focus on lower-level network management standards, this book focuses on real SNMP product development, and reflects the direct experience of many engineers, network managers and network professionals. All software developers and networking professionals from major organizations involved in network management
Similarly, you don't have to be an expert in the lower-level details of SNMP and network management. Each class is defined and a variety of examples are given. There are a variety of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) that exist for the creation of management applications. Special thanks are given to a few project managers who saw value in this technology, including Bob McGuire, Lloyd Serra, Moises Medina, and Harry Feit. The majority of these provide a large library of functions that require the programmer to be familiar with the inner workings of SNMP and network management. Up to now, network management development has been a cumbersome task requiring the expertise of many valuable resources. That is, rather than describe all the RFCs and their content, only the elements that apply to SNMP++ are described. Bob Natale and the WinSNMP gr
Good subject, but badly written. The subject matter is good. But the writing is bad. Perhaps, the book was written very hastily. Almost every page has a mistake in it, grammatical or otherwise. The author has used too many cut and pastes when writing this book, resulting in: (1) lots of uselessly duplicated text and diagrams, and (2) lots of editing mistakes. The author has some favorite words that he uses abundantly, e.g., "instrument" as a verb, "network appliance", etc. He keeps on referring to a MIB as "an MIB" and many times refers to . "Very useful" according to Jeff Talin. I found the work and text to be very useful. All other books I could find on SNMP are on the lower layers of the protocol and related to IETF standards and such. This text cleary defined to me how object oriented applications could be written using SNMP++. Without this text, I would have spent hours re-inventing what was already accomplished here.. Waste of money! Nothing here that isn't in the documentation This book is almost an exact duplicate of the document that is included when you download the SNMP++ package. The CD contains older versions of the source and the tools that can be also be downloaded from the site. The only reason to buy the book is if you can't get online at all. I regret having wasted my money.
