The practical usage of SNMP

My name is Jin Tsai, and I've been coding a SNMP network management JAVA appclication for FedEx Corp.I have a chance to use this book for my learning on SNMP and use it for my program reference.The pros of this book lies in the fact that, clearly, it has been written by an engineer rather than by an academic. The stress is on the pragmatic use of the SNMP protocol and some of its more important MIBs to solve real network managment problems. First, the relevent concepts are presented in plain and easy to understand language. Next, clear diagrams and pseudocode algorithms are presented. This goes a long way in helping to explain, in particular, the very difficult to understand V3 concepts. To gain a full perspective of this accomplishment, I invite you to try and glean this information by reading the RFC's yourself.The cons of this book in my opinion is its coding examples. Since I have used this book for the SNMP reference, I'd appreciate if there are more JAVA code examples so that this book could be more beneficial for all of the programmers.whether you are a newbie or experienced, this book contains a treasure of useful network management information from understanding SNMP to the implementations of SUN and UCD agents.At last, I have found this book very worthwhile reading, and I'm willing to bet that any programmers interesting in coding useful network managment apps using SNMP will find it very worthwhile as well. As its title suggests, this is a toolkit that a systems network programmer can not live without.
