Supported RFCs
This page provides a listing of the major RFCs supported in SNMP Research products.
A complete list of all published RFCs is constantly updated and available
from the RFC Editor Web site.
RFCs are also available from the Internet Engineering Task Force,
http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html.
This page is provided as a guide and does not attempt to describe all the
nuances of RFC support. For example, an RFC may not be supported on some
operating systems. So, the SNMP Research product may offer support of the RFC
to the extent that the operating system provides support for the RFC.
Please contact sales so that we can help guide you to the solution
that meets your project requirements.
Each RFC in the table links to a description in the list of RFCs
provided below the table. Each product named in a column header links to a
product page for more information. The markers for Agents and Managers face
different directions as a reminder that Agent software and Manager software
implements RFCs in different ways.
