The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Windows Nt Snmp':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
As the author points out, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is not a program or even a language, it is a protocol. This is disturbingly assumed, though not explicitly stated, in some of the earlier works I have reviewed on the subject. It is easy to understand the frustration of readers who may plough through entire volumes and come out still wondering how on earth they are supposed to use this SNMP "thing." This book, by narrowing the focus slightly, is more able to concentrate on that aspect of use. It is, however, directed at programmers of network management tools rather than directly at network managers. Part one, on SNMP basics, gives the fundamentals, albeit in a somewhat reduced form. Chapter one covers some history behind SNMP, as well as activities it might, and might not, be used for. Network basics, including a brief look at components, TCP/IP, the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model, and framing, is given in chapter two. Network management is defined in chapter three, along with the SNMP division of management areas. Chapter four's layout of the internals of SNMP is fairly brief, but still manages to cover as many pages as the first three combined. Part two gets detailed. The Windows NT (and 95) SNMP services are outlined in chapter five, including installation and Registry information. Chapters six through nine cover necessary programming information for the extension and utility APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), extension agents, traps, and the management API. Chapter ten pulls the various components together for network management applications, and adds finer points such as etiquette for such programs. Appendices include an excellent and extensive bibliography and other resources, a listing of relevant Microsoft Knowledge Base articles, and related RFCs (Request For Comments). copyright Robert M.
