My customer asks if our product (SNMP A.M.) has been certified about its SNMP management. Do you know if there is any official test to do that ? If any, has our product been certified through this official process ? Regards Bernard

To my knowledge, there is no certification process for SNMP. Is the customer really asking "Does the SNMP AM interoperate with other vendors' SNMP agents?" I personally have used the AM to communicate with cisco, Proteon, Wellfleet, Vitalink, Ultrix V4, and IP Portal V1.1 SNMP agents. The AM has been rigorously tested against Ultrix, Portal, and Wellfleet. Regards, Mike | |||||

I will turn the question around. What does certification mean in the
SNMP space. The normal thing is to go to a trade show such as Interop
and demonstrate that you can do some shows of various tcp attributes.
There are a host of opportunities to do ad-hoc interoperability testing
but as far as I know there is NO formal testing suite or
interoperability certification. It seems to be quite foreign to the
SNMP/Internet community to do this sort of thing.

The fluid way which SNMP is adopted and modified is why a successful
SNMP AM will have the ability to edit the MIB. Many things will change
from the time it's tested inhouse till the time it ships.
