Design and Implementation of Dynamic SNMP Agent Generator
Yu Chen · Science Technology and Engineering · 2007
The process of agent development using AdventNet Agent Toolkit, a typical network management develop tool, is introduced and analyzed at first, which points out the agent code must be re-generated using the tool if the new management information items wish to be added and terminal user of the agent can not increase the items directly. The design and implement of a new dynamical SNMP agent generator with PowerTCP SNMP component is proposed, in which two dynamic link library files are used to keep the structure of MIB and the operation of the management information while .NET reflection technology is adopted to complete the result return, which make the operation code separate from the code of main agent. Using the agent generated by the new generator, the terminal user can dynamically increase the management information items,the operation code is only need to add in a dynamic link library file instead of the agent main programme, which simplify the development of SNMP agent.
