Mac Forum / General / Networking / December 2006SNMP App?
I'm looking fo an SNMP application for OSX. (I'm not sure whether calling it a client is correct, I need it to configure a switch.) I didn't find anything on the net, but I think something must exist. Thanks Stefan > I'm looking fo an SNMP application for OSX.

Most switches for Ethernet have a Web configurable interface and you can set them up with a browser. There are SNMP apps that ran under the old Mac OS and may run under Classic on OS X (PPC anyway, I don't know about MacTels): http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Network-Admin/SNMP-Watcher.shtml http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11377 or http://billpalmer.net/com000230.html > http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11377 This is only an agent, not a console. > http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Network-Admin/SNMP-Watcher.shtml This application works fine under Classic, but it's only a watcher, as the name says. No possibility to change the parameters. It seems I'm out of luck. Time to buy an Intel based Mac, I'm afraid. Thanks anyway.

What are you trying to accomplish? Tim McNamara schrieb: > What are you trying to accomplish? First and immediate, I have to change a parameter on an old switch with no http interface. Ok, I could probably do it from the console port using ZTerm and a USB to serial converter. Second, while I'm at it, I'll take it as an opportunity to learn some basics about SNMP. (As a starter, I've already learnt that the programs involved are called agent and console :-) Some guy from an other group pointed me tho this link: <http://www.ireasoning.com/mibbrowser.shtml>. Looks interesting. Stefan > Tim McNamara schrieb: > > > What are you trying to accomplish? > > First and immediate, I have to change a parameter on an old switch with > no http interface. Does it have a telnet interface?

According to the manual, not all parameters are accessible with telnet. But completing this particular rather small task is only one aspect. As I have some spare time right now, I want to take the opportunity and learn some basics about SNMP. > Tim McNamara schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > no http interface.

Web interfaces are much simpler, although I am pretty comfortable with terminal type interfaces. > Second, while I'm at it, I'll take it as an opportunity to learn some > basics about SNMP.

New switches are cheap- US$25 or so. I assume that such things are just as cheap in Europe. Just type "apropos snmp" in the Terminal and you'll probably find what you need. In particular, check out the man page for "snmpset(1)". > I'm looking fo an SNMP application for OSX. (I'm not sure whether > calling it a client is correct, I need it to configure a switch.)
