SNMP is a Separately Purchasable Option
The VxWorks stack does not bundle in SNMP support. If you need SNMP,
purchase one of the following options:
■
Envoy SNMP Source Code
This option provides a complete SNMP v1/v2c solution. You have the option
of enhancing Envoy with Envoy+3 and Envoy+X.
■
Envoy+3
This option provides SNMP v3 functionality. SNMP v3 enhances the security
of the management protocol through the addition of encryption and
authentication. SNMPv3 uses industry-standard protocols such as MD5
(Message Digest 5), SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm), and DES (Data Encryption
Standard) to secure the communications channel. Envoy's SNMP v3
implementation also provides support for the Target and Notify MIBs.
■
Envoy+X
This option provides AgentX functionality for implementing SNMP master
agent/subagent systems. AgentX lets users create dynamically extensible
SNMP agents. AgentX master agents communicate directly with network
management stations. Subagents dynamically register with a master agent.
Such functionality allows developers to design a modularly extensible system,
such as a multi-blade switching chassis, that can be managed as a single
device.
■
WindNet SNMP
This option provides a binary version of the Envoy portable source code
product.
For more information, see the Envoy Programmer’s Guide and the Envoy Porting
Guide.
