SNMP Protocol Adaptor

The SNMP adaptor implements the SNMP v1 and v2 protocol stack. The protocol adaptor is able to manage an unlimited number of different MIBs. By providing a unified view of all the MIBs, the SNMP adaptor solves the sub-agent problem that commonly occurs with SNMP. The SNMP protocol adaptor allows MIBs to be loaded or unloaded dynamically. This enables a MIB to be loaded into, updated, and unloaded from an agent while it is running.
