SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is, according to Wikipedia, "used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention."
TelcoBridges and SNMP
TelcoBridges offers basic SNMP support (SNMP v1). Specifically, this is the ability to remotely poll or “GET” system variables known as Managed Objects, which are represented in files known as MIBs. TelcoBridges currently offers polling on a limited number of well-known MIBs (RTP, Sonet, Trunk etc.) as well as some proprietary MIBs (SW version, release, temperature sensors), etc.). However, SNMP 'traps' (i.e., alarms) are not supported in the current release, nor is the ability to 'SET' system variables (defined in SNMP v2).
As of September 2010, TelcoBridges is actively investigating the implementation SNMP v2 support, including GET support as well as alarms/traps at the level of Toolpack.
