SNMP Trap Watcher
Abstract
SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol used to remotely
manage the nodes on a TCP/IP network. It is the most popular protocol in the
field of network management. SNMP Traps, which is the only proactive approach
in SNMP, are event report messages that are sent from an SNMP agent to a Network
Management System. Our objective is to develop a
language neutral interface to handle SNMP traps.
SNMP Trap Watcher uses COM and ActiveX technology, which provide a way
to reuse and integrate components at run time. In this thesis, a multi-threaded
ActiveX control is implemented using Microsoft’s Active Template Library.
Several techniques are introduced about how to use COM to synchronize threads.
At the end of this thesis, examples are provided on how to use the SNMP Trap
Watcher in different language environments, including Visual Basic, Visual C++
and Java.
