Note 132.0                   Testing our SNMP agent                   No replies

We are  trying  to work out what testing we should do for the new read-write
SNMP agent support in DECNIS V2.3.  In addition to our "protocol" testing of
our  agent I would like to test against some of the major network management
systems.   My concern is to make sure our SNMP support really works properly
with  the  systems  our  customers  are likely to be using (can any standard
graphs  be  produced correctly, can you turn interfaces on and off properly,
etc.).

In addition  to  MCC  and  MSU  I  think we should be testing against SunNet
Manager,  HP  OpenView  and Network Managers (popular in the UK and Europe).
Does anyone think that is the wrong list? Any recommendations on priorities?

I believe  OpenView  and SunNet Manager are both available in PC versions --
does  anyone  know  whether  that  is  really  the  case or whether they are
any different from the workstation versions?

Does anyone  have  any of the systems available internally to save us having
to  go  out  any  buy  them?  What have other SNMP agent implementors tested
against?

	We have an HP Openview system running on top of DOS sitting next to our DECMCC system at the customer site. The HP is running Cabletron's SNMP Mgr and is very slick.
