FAQ:Coding
From Net-SNMP Wiki
This section covers issues related to developing code to extend the Net-SNMP agent.
- How do I write C code to integrate with the agent?
- How does the agent fetch the value of a MIB variable from the system?
- Mib2c complains about a missing "mib reference" - what does this mean?
- Mib2c complains about not having a "valid OID" - what does this mean?
- Why doesn't mib2c like the MIB file I'm giving it?
- Mib2c ignores my MIB and generates a pair of 'mib-2' code files. Why?
- What's the difference between the various mib2c configuration files?
- Which mib2c configuration file should I use?
- How can I have mib2c generate code for both scalars and tables?
- Are there any examples, or documentation?
- Where should I put the files produced by 'mib2c'?
- I've created a new module with 'mib2c' but it doesn't work. Why not?
- I've added my code to this template and it still doesn't work. Why not?
- Why does the iterator call my get_{first,next} routines so often?
- How can I get the agent to generate a trap (or inform)?
- How can I get the agent to send an SNMPv1 (or SNMPv2c) trap?
- How can I get the agent to include varbinds with an SNMPv1 trap?
- How can I get the agent to send an SNMPv1 enterprise-specific trap?
- How can I get the agent to send an SNMPv3 trap (or inform)?
- Why does calling 'send_v2trap' generate an SNMPv1 trap (or vice versa)?
- What if I'm using an AgentX sub-agent instead?
- How can I register a MIB module in a different (SNMPv3) context?
