SNMP Data Mining FeaturesSNMP Data Mining Features
SNMP-to-the-Core• Fully integrated into ICONICS FrameWorXGUI developed around user needsFull exploration of SNMPAuto-detection of Device Types with fancy recognizable ICONsMIB parser with no limits on the number of OIDs that can be imported

SNMP Data Mining FeaturesSNMP Data Mining Features
Auto-discovery of Managed Devices• Possible to scan whole networks with one
command• Configurable time-out for the Ping
function• Multi-threaded design provides fast
responseSupports the ability to use SNMP data as tags (just as you would use OPC DA tags)

SNMP Key ComponentsSNMP Key Components
Three key components:• Managed devices (network elements)
- Network node that contains an SNMP agent and that resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and make this information available to NMSs using SNMP. Managed devices, sometimes called network elements, can be routers and access servers, switches and bridges, hubs, computer hosts, or printers
• Agents- Network-management software module that resides in
a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP.
• Network-management system (NMS)- An NMS executes applications that monitor and control
managed devices. One or more NMSs must exist on any managed network.

SNMP Protocol - OIDsSNMP Protocol - OIDs
OID – Object IdentifierThe “OPC Tagname” in the IT WorldEach Object (piece of information) is identified by a series of numbersUnique definition1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.3.1

What is a MIB?What is a MIB?
MIB – Management Information Base• ASCII text file that describes an SNMP
Network Element as a list of data objects• Translates numeric strings into Human
Readable text• Provides the data type of each OID
