PowerSNMP for .NET Features

Manage network devices and remote information

• Manager component receives and decodes Trap and Inform messages.
• Enhanced with .NET asynchronous task support for requesting and retrieving management information from Agents.
• Superior scaling in high-throughput environments.
• Discover agents and query their information base (variables).
• Get an entire table with a single method (supports sparse tables).
• Communicate with agents in parallel (on multiple threads) or serially (on a single thread).
• Send Inform messages to other managers.

Respond to SNMP requests and send notifications

• Agent component receives, decodes and responds to Get, GetBulk, Set requests.
• Create and send Trap and Inform messages.
• Create default responses from requests or build your own.
• Automatically updates agent variables and tables.
• Start method allow you to specify your delegate that will be asynchronously raised as each SNMP request arrives.
• Marshal methods provide easy marshaling of selected objects to the UI thread.
• Report statistics on software applications, attached devices, or anything else.

Use standard and custom MIBs

• Load and parse MIB files at design-time or run-time.
• MibNode definitions use OIDs to associate MIB file definitions with variable IIDs found in PDUs.
• Intrinsic support provided for standard SNMPv2 SMI MIBs.
• TreeView can be populated with parsed MIBs for easy viewing.
• Automatic Tree generation of parsed MIBs for easy viewing.
• Design-time Intellisense for standard MIB objects and tables.
• Standard and custom MIB file parser.
• Full support for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3 and ASN.1 standards.

Secure & Interoperable

• Comprehensive Security
  • Support for DTLS using RSA and DSA certificates.
  • MD5, SHA authentication support.
  • DES, Triple DES, AES128, AES192, AES256 encryption support.
  • Seamless SNMP v3 integration is accomplished using a Security class that is part of every message.
  • MD5 and SHA1 hashing provides privacy for usernames and passwords.
  • DES, Triple DES encryption privacy supported (FIPS 140-2 compliant).
  • 3 Levels (128, 192, 256) of AES encryption privacy supported (FIPS 140-2 compliant).
  • Automatic v3 encryption and decryption.
  • Automatic sending and handling of discovery messages.
  • EngineID's are cached, so the use of discovery messages is minimized.
  • No knowledge of SNMP security formatting required.
• Interoperability
  • Compatible with CISCO, MG-Soft , NET-SNMP and other SNMP software.
  • Compatible with FIPS 140-2 standards.
  • Complies with SNMP RFCs for version 1 (1155, 1156, 1157, 1212, 1213, 1215, 2863, 3418), version 2 (1901, 1907, 1908, 3416, 3417), and version 3 (3410, 3411, 3412, 3413, 3414, 3415, 3416, 3417, 3418, 3584, 3826, 5343).
