net-snmp question

[Pedro Neves]

Dear all:   I work in a research institute in Portugal (I will send a postcard from Portugal J) and I am having difficulties to understand how I will interact with the equipment using SNMP.   The equipment has an SNMP agent running on it. However, I need some tools in order to request or set information from the SNMP agent. This way, I was wondering if I can install the Net-SNMP software and use its tools to request or set information from the SNMP agent. Is this possible?   Thank you very much for your attention   Regards, Pedro Neves
