It also includes SNMPV 2.. Written for those who plan, administer and manage networks and for software developers who work in a networked envoironment, this reference presents the ideas behind SNMP and explains the protocols and mechanisms
A very good book! Jay D An excellent source of information for readers at all levels. Explains SNMP in the simplest terms for novice readers and provides pointers for the more experienced ones.. "not my favorite book" according to Kurt Guntheroth. I used this book while implementing an SNMP client from scratch. Although the book contained pretty much all the information I needed, I never considered it to be easy to use or particularly helpful. Perhaps if I *already* was familiar with SNMP it might have been an acceptable reference. Don't expect any programming help. This book just talks about the spec. An infuriating amount of background info where you don't need it, and not enough detail where you want it. This book is also long on SNMP jargon and. Very clearly written. I'm new to the network management field. I found though, that introductory concepts were explained, and explained in a clear simple way. Even though I had read explanations before - this time I understood because of the writing style.
