Abstract

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has been around for more than a decade and is supported by most network devices and end systems. Despite this success, there is still a lack of simple to use network management applications.This paper describes the design of an SNMP management tool called scli which provides an easy and efficient to use SNMP command line interface. The software architecture has been designed to make it easy for C programmers without any special SNMP programming skills to extend the functionality provided by scli.
