API Libraries

The following API libraries are included with the SMA product:

• libnetsnmp

• libnetsnmpagent

• libnetsnmpmibs

• libnetsnmphelpers

• libentity

The libentity library is not part of Net-SNMP, but is a customization for the SMA product.

On SPARC platforms, the 32–bit Net-SNMP libraries are contained in the /usr/sfw/lib directory. The 64–bit Net-SNMP libraries are contained in the /usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9 subdirectory.

On x86 platforms, only the 32–bit Net-SNMP libraries are available in the /usr/sfw/lib directory.

The functions contained in the Net-SNMP libraries are used in the MIB modules that you create, as well as in the agent. Documentation from Net-SNMP for using the API functions is contained in /usr/sfw/doc/sma_snmp/html.

The SMA includes the same Net-SNMP API functions that are available with the open source Net-SNMP agent. API Functions includes a list of functions that are certified to work with the System Management Agent.
