5591.0. "SNMP using TCP transport ?" by COPCLU::SORENC (S�ren H Christiansen - (7)857-2107) Tue Sep 14 1993 09:16

    I have not been able to locate answers to these short questions, so
    
    Is it possible to use TCP as transport (instead of UDP) for the SNMP
    AM ? (ULTRIX platform & Polycenter Network Manager 200 V1.3)
    Does the SNMP AM have an 'SNMP API' for SET, GET, GET-NEXT ? (or is
    the only way mcc_call)
    
    Thanks,
    
    S�ren

	The SNMP protocol is connectionless and uses datagrams. Reliable
	delivery is acheived through timeouts and retries. As such most
	SNMP implementations (including ours) are built on UDP/IP. Thus
	you cannot use the TCP transport with the SNMP AM.

	The SNMP AM does not currently have an "SNMP API". You will have
	to use mcc_call to access SNMP data through the AM.
