The Net-SNMP agent(3)                             net-snmp                             The Net-SNMP agent(3)



NAME
       The Net-SNMP agent - The snmp agent responds to SNMP queries from management stations.



   Modules
       Net-SNMP Agent handler and extensibility API
           The basic theory goes something like this: In the past, with the original mib module api (which
           derived from the original CMU SNMP code) the underlying mib modules were passed very little
           information (only the truly most basic information about a request).


       Maintain a registry of MIB subtrees, together with related information regarding mibmodule, sessions,
           etc
       Trap generation routines for mib modules to use
       net-snmp agent related processing

Detailed Description
       The snmp agent responds to SNMP queries from management stations.
