Introduction

Welcome to IPWorks SNMP, a robust suite of components for embedding real-time network management and agent functionality into applications and network devices. The toolkit supports a complete range of capabilities including advanced SNMP v1, v2c, & v3 security features, trap management & filtering, and ASN-1 MIB compilation. IPWorks SNMP offers a complete unified framework with a common, easy-to-learn object model and simplified interfaces for quick implementation.

Included Libraries

The .NET Edition includes several libraries (.dll files) which are supported in different environments. The following libraries are present in the lib directory after installation:

  • lib\nsoftware.IPWorksSNMP.dll is designed for use in .NET Framework 4.0 and up, .NET Core 3.0 and up, and .NET 5 and up. This is the default library which maintains a familiar API in line with previous versions of the product.
