Manage network devices and remote management information from your .NET applications. PowerSNMP for .NET is a family of .NET classes and components used to manage network devices and remote management information. Full support for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3 and ASN.1 standards provide interoperability with enterprise devices. The Manager and Agent components provide for message transport and a suite of supporting classes provide MIB information, encoding/decoding, and encryption/decryption. MIB files can be parsed and imported into C# and Visual Basic projects to provide full intellisense support. A MIB compiler dynamically loads MIB files at run-time to generate new classes and objects on demand.

Main Features:

SNMPv3 provides comprehensive security for enterprise resources. Messages can be constructed using no security, authentication only, or authentication and privacy

Create custom SNMP Manager applications using Windows forms or ASP.NET

Create custom SNMP Trap Managers that automate any process

Create custom SNMP Agent applications that report statistics on software applications or attached devices

The Manager and Agent components provide full drag/drop integration into Visual Studio

The Manager component sends SNMP requests and receives responses and traps from SNMP agents. All encoding/decoding is automatic

The Timeout and MaxRetries properties are used to recover from dropped packets

Complete tables can be retrieved using a single method

"Inform" requests are fully supported

Synchronous methods return a response or table to the calling application, and can be used in ASP.NET

Responses to requests generated by asynchronous methods are reported by events

The Agent component generates responses to requests and can also initiate trap messages

An event is raised when each request is received

Default response messages are generated from OID (IID) values the application caches in the Variables property

The Message class is the base class for all SNMP messages:

The RequestMessage class is the base class for GetMessage, GetNextMessage, GetBulkMessage, SetMessage and InformMessage.

The TrapMessage class is an SNMPv1 trap

The NotifyMessage class is an SNMPv2+ trap

The ResponseMessage class is used by the Agent and Manager components, respectively, to encode and decode responses

The MibNodes class is used to manage MIB files and associated classes:

Standard MIB objects, traps and notifications from the SNMPv2 SMI (Structure of Management Information) are included as intrinsic classes

MIB Parser and Code Generator - C# and VB source code classes can be interactively generated from MIB files within the IDE

MIB Compiler - Mib classes derived from MibNode can be generated from MIB files and loaded on demand at runtime

No knowledge of SNMP message formats is required. Documentation provides basic theory of operation

Requires no system services beyond basic network transport (independent of Windows SNMP Service)

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.4?

New samples, including a Windows Presentation Foundation (WFP) Agent, a WFP Manager, a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Service and a Web Service

A new Walk method for traversing a subtree in an Agent's MIB with one line of code

New support for DISPLAY-HINTS, for displaying variable values as intended

A VariableList.Populate method for displaying variables in a Treeview

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.3.1.0?

Replaced the static CreateEndPoint function with an IPEndPoint class derived from System.Net.IPEndPoint.

Addressed a memory leak in the agent when receiving requests, and the manager when receiving traps.

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.3.0.3?

PowerSNMP for .NET 4.3.0.3 has been released with several new features, including a new Manager Log event, enhanced IPv6 support, and new support for v3 agent discovery. There have also been multiple issue fixes, including an event handler fix in the Manager component designer, and strengthened support for v3 authoritative engines.

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.2.1.2?

SNMP for .NET now supports C++/CLI code generation, in addition to C# and VB.NET

PowerSNMP has been updated with a new install and VS 2010 integration

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.2?

Support for the MONO Framework, allowing execution in many non-Windows environments, including Linux, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X.

Managed Visual C++ samples are now available

PowerShell demo script included in samples

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.1.1.6?

Fixed issues with agent and some v3 management software

Fixed MIB parsing issue when END keyword was part of a description

It is now possible to remove and re-add standard traps to MibNodes.Traps

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.1?

A new code generation feature has been added to the product. The MibNodes collection will have a GenerateCode method that will produce a code file that can be added to your C# or VB.NET project. The code file will provide an Import method which will import MibNode and MibTrap objects generated from parsed mib files into an existing MibNodes collection (for example, Manager.Mib). Also, it will create enumerations that will provide Intellisense for the GetByNodeName and GetByTrapName functions during development. See the Mib Treeview sample for a demonstration of code generation, and the Manager and Agent samples for an implementation of the generated code.

The MibNodes dictionary has been extended with a new Traps property, allowing for Trap referencing in parsed mibs. Traps can be indexed by name or by trap attributes.

What's new in PowerSNMP for .NET V4.0?

Multi-threaded worker thread operation does not interfere with UI performance

MIB files are parsed automatically when loaded

SNMP v3 support uses MD5 and SHA authentication and DES, Triple DES and AES (128, 192 and 256 bit strength) encryption

FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography supports government and military requirements

Start methods launch worker threads where synchronous methods do the heavy lifting

Marshal methods marshal data to the UI thread for display purposes

Manage network devices and remote management information from your .NET applications.
