Essential SNMP

Rating:
Summary: Good User Reference
Review: This book is intended for people wanting to understand how to use SNMP such as adminstrators or managers. I bought this book because of its coverage of various NMS systems (such as HP OpenView NNM) and SNMP Agents.

The book provides coverage of SNMP and its operation in two chapters. It covers NMS configuration, Agent configuration, extensible Agents, MRTG. Also useful is its coverage of open source software for SNMP: Net-SNMP, SNMP Perl module, and MRTG.

The book could use more coverage of other open source and freely available SNMP software.

All in all, a good book. As usual, you can trust O'Reilly.
