Windows NT SNMP Book

As communications networks grow in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult to locally manage and control all of the devices (e.g., routers, servers, and workstations) on those networks. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) gives you a way to manage network devices remotely. You can use SNMP to check on the performance of a network (and its devices), to find out what problems may be occurring, and to fix them. This book covers the implementation of SNMP on Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 (with a look ahead to NT 5.0), and Windows 95 systems. It contains: The basics of SNMP, computer networking, and network managementProgramming for NT SNMP; detailed developer information on installing the Microsoft SNMP service, using the Microsoft SNMP APIs, developing Win32 SNMP extension agents, implementing traps, and writing network management applicationsExtensive references to additional SNMP books, Web sites, newsgroups, Microsoft documents, and other Internet resources The book comes with a CD-ROM containing a wealth of additional information: standards documents, sample code from the book, and many third-party, SNMP-related software tools, libraries, and demos.Read More
