WindNet SNMP is an optional component that provides VxWorks with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) capabilities. It is a "bilingual" product, supporting both SNMP version 1 and version 2c. SNMP enables network devices, called agents, to be monitored, controlled, and configured remotely from a network management station.

WindNet SNMP allows a target to be managed and configured remotely by an SNMP manager. The Management Information Base (MIB) specifies the network management variables stored in an agent. You can customize the agent by extending its MIB. The newly-added MIB can include information specific to your application and environment. As shipped, WindNet SNMP supports the standard Management Information Base-II (MIB-II) definitions.

WindNet SNMP is extensible. In addition to the base functionality, you can make extensions to the SNMP agent's MIB to include information specific to your application and environment.
