Demonstration Programs

The demonstration programs show how you can use the information in the NMS MIBs to provide useful information to a network administrator, and how to get and set SNMP variables.
The following demonstration programs are provided: Program Description snmpget Retrieves information about the SNMP master agent on the specified host. snmpnext Gets the value of the next SNMP variable. snmpset Sets the value of the current SNMP variable. snmpChassScan Navigates the NmsChassis MIB, and displays information about the chassis and boards. snmpHsMon Monitors a CPCI chassis for traps. snmpTrunkLog Shows the status of digital trunks.
You must start the CT Access server with ctdaemon.exe, and initialize the system hardware with oamsys before running the SNMP demonstration programs. For versions prior to CT Access 4.0, use agmon instead of oamsys. Note: snmpHsMon is the only demonstration program that supports board insertion/extraction.

Program	Description
snmpget	Retrieves information about the SNMP master agent on the specified host.
snmpnext	Gets the value of the next SNMP variable.
snmpset	Sets the value of the current SNMP variable.
snmpChassScan	Navigates the NmsChassis MIB, and displays information about the chassis and boards.
snmpHsMon	Monitors a CPCI chassis for traps.
snmpTrunkLog	Shows the status of digital trunks.

All demonstration programs are run by executing the program from the command line. Each demonstration program resides in its own directory under nms\CTAccess\demos\snmp (or the opt/nms/CTAccess/demos/snmp directory under Unix), along with the source code and makefile.
A description of each demonstration program follows.
