net/p5-SNMP_Session 1.13nb16 NetBSD

This module differs from existing SNMP packages in that it is completely stand-alone, i.e. you don't need to have another SNMP package such as CMU SNMP. It is also written entirely in Perl, so you don't have to compile any C modules. It uses the Perl 5 Socket.pm module and should therefore be very portable, even to non-Unix systems.

The SNMP operations currently supported are "get", "get-next", and "set", as well as trap generation and reception.

For an excellent example of the type of application this is useful for, see Tobias Oetiker's ``mrtg'' (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) tool: <URL:http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html>
