Hello NET-SNMP Developer,

my name is Michael Kröher, I am developing embedded Network devices.
Our firmware contains an old snmp v1 stack, from a company which is no more 
existing :-(

Since we are in an age, were security is very important, I am instructed to 
find an embedded snmp stack which contains also snmp v3.
While my search through the web, I found NET-SNMP (very often ;-)  )
I have some questions, which answers I did not find in the documents and FAQs 
on your website.

1. Furthermore to security it should be possible to be agent and manager, but I 
am not sure if net snmp can be both?
This is my first question, I think this is the more easy question.


2. We are using the RTOS vxWorks on our board.
I try to find some FAQs on your Wiki, but I only find this one:

FAQ:Compiling 06: How can I compile the project for use on an embedded system?
The FAQ tells me three main aspects:
There are three main aspects to consider:
*

how to compile the code,
*       what code to compile, and
*       how to install the resulting agent binary.

I think, the most important question for me is, what modules of the downloaded 
net-snmp-5.5.pre3 directory tree are important for me?
I want to have an working agent task, which I can create when my system starts 
up, and which opens a snmp socket and a snmp_trap socket and waits for requests 
and response them. I want to support different MIBs, some responsed by the task 
herself (MIB II) and some send via request to another task for responding 
(LLDP-MIB). This is my main fit.
So I need all the modules (C-Sourcefiles), which I have to compile and link 
together. Also a block diagramm with the containing blocks of net-snmp and the 
coherence of them would be very nice. So maybe where I can find which module 
belongs to which block...
There is no answer in this FAQ   :-(
I know, how I can link it to my binary image and I think I can find the 
necessary compiler switches.
But my work will be more faster, if you can give me a little help for the 
needed *.c and *.h  files and the coherence of them.

I am sorry, but I have not the experience on linux systems to understand the 
compiling to this number of makefiles and configuration files   :-(
Maybe there are some documents on your side which I overlooked ???
I hope you can help me for this problem and it will not take to much time for 
you.

best regards and have a nice weekend
Michael
