Class Description
This class is a bridge between Tango and SNMP. It allows the user to get/set snmp data to/from a snmp agent. It is built on top of the <a href="http://www.net-snmp.org" target="_top">net-snmp</a> library. You can get/set SNMP data using generic commands or you can configure this Tango class to create dynamic attributes which are the Tango part of SNMP data. See the definition of the device properties to find out how this can be achieved. To communicate with the SNMP agent, this class uses SNMP v2c.

Attributes:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| MIBFileDirsSpectrum: DevString | This attribute is the list of directories where the sofwtare will look for MIB files. |
| LoadedMIBModulesSpectrum: DevString | This is the list of the MIB modules loaded in the Tango server |
Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State Device state |
This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: ConstDevString Device status |
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| GetSnmpDataInput: DevString The SNMP data name Output: DevVarDoubleStringArray The SNMP data as string(s) or double(s) according to the SNMP data type |
Get some data from the SNMP agent. The data to be retrieved is given to the command as input argument. The SNMP data are returned to the caller as string(s) or double(s). It is up to the client to convert them in the required data type. |
| SetSnmpDataInput: DevVarDoubleStringArray s[0] = Snmp data name, s[1] = value to be written (for string data type) d[0] = value to be written (for number data type) Output: DevVoid |
Write a new value into a SNMP data. The snmp data name is given as the first string. Value to be written is passed to the command as the second string or as the first double. |

Properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| communityDevString | The comunity string used to build the connection to the agent |
| timeoutDevULong | Timeout (uS) for the agent communication |
| MIBFileArray of DevString | List of MIB file to be loaded by the Tango class |
| AgentIpAddrDevString | The host IP address where the SNMP agent is running |
| DynamicAttributesArray of DevString | List of dynamic attributes to be instanciated by this device. Each string in the array defined one attribute with the following syntax: att_name=SNMP data name, Tango data type, READ or READ_WRITE,[label],[unit],[format] The last three are optionals but if you omit one, the comma separator has to be used for proper string parsing. If the MIB file is available to the software, the SNMP data name can be expressed using MIB OID notation. It is not necessary to add the last .0 for simple data. The attribute format will be automatically deduced from the information retrieved from SNMP. If the defnition of the Tango attribute is incoherent with the MIB OID definition, the device state switches to ALARM and the device status gives you which attribute(s) aer wrongly defined. |
