Secure Your Network
The network management community has been requesting improvements to make SNMP communications more efficient and also to more naturally model and manipulate the management information for networking devices. SNMP Research has been working with industry leaders and standards organizations to define protocol enhancements to support these requirements. SNMP Research has an initiative known as "Advanced Protocol Operations" (APO) which has the goal of evolving our products to support enhancements to the protocol, and to align with future industry standards in this area.
Products which include APO features are expected to provide the following benefits:
The 16.1 release is the first product release to implement development work from the APO initiative. SNMP Research has made internal architectural changes to support APO features, however these enhancements are not yet exposed to developers. Protocol changes have been designed to be compatible with previous releases. For example, subagents built with previous toolkits will work with the 16.1 EMANATE® Master Agent. Conversely, subagents built with the 16.1 toolkit will work with previous generation (15.X) EMANATE Master Agents (as long as the subagent does not attempt to implement APO features). Management application clients built with previous generation toolkits will work with the 16.1 BRASS™ Server.
We intend for future developer product releases to provide support for access to APO features, which have the potential to greatly improve the throughput and efficiency of SNMP-based manager-agent communications.
