1. plug and play - any snmp package contains eample programs. read them in
order to have a basic idea of what a MIB is, and then explore the MIB
of your router, network printer, etc.
2. read a book - for example, 'the simple book' (don't have ISBN number -
please search @amazon). this might be good, but also might be a bit too
much for what you need.
3. search the net for SNMP's RFC (request for comments) - thought these
documents tend to be technical and boring.
4. search the net for 'snmp simple guide'.
basically, SNMP is a VERY simple protocol (version 1 has only about 5
query types, version two only added about 2 query types). it is a very
inefficient protocol as well when it comes to bulk systems, but it's good
enough to manage your router (MRTG uses SNMP to query the router, as far
as i know - someone correct me if i'm wrong, please).
hope this helps,
guy
