The following are the key features added in the WebNMS SNMP API 4.
Robust MIBs Support - The MIB support API is enhanced to handle different levels of parsing and improved error reporting mechanisms. The different levels of parsing allow the users to configure the strictness of the parser according to their requirement. The parsing of MIB file can be made configurable to suit the application requirements. WebNMS SNMP API handles this by providing the following set of parsing levels which facilitates to select the level of parsing required by the applications.
Lenient
Normal
Serious
Critical
In addition to the above four levels, the API also supports the user-defined level which allows the developers to define their own parsing level.
IPv6 Support - IP version 6 (IPv6) is a new version of the Internet Protocol, designed as the successor to IP version 4 (IPv4). IPv6 support has been added to Java Networking in the JDK 1.4 release. With the WebNMS SNMP API 4 compatible with JDK 1.4, the API can now support IPv6 as defined in the following (RFCs).
RFC2373: IPv6 Addressing Architecture
RFC2553: Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6
RFC2732: Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs
RFC4001: Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses
Logging Support - WebNMS SNMP API supports logging of the SNMP requests. Using this feature, applications can log the messages while querying for one or more variables from the remote agent.
Viewing INFORMS - TrapViewer is capable of receiving SNMP V2c/V3 Traps and INFORMS.
Trap Mailer - Trap Mailer helps you to mail the received traps to the configured addresses.
Enable Logging - TrapViewer has the option for enabling the logs, so that all the received traps are logged into the text/xml file and these traps can be viewed using any text reader.
Others : CBC-3DES, CFB-AES-192, CFB-AES-256 bit encryption support is added, JDK 1.6 support is added, for more details kindly refer the latest "Release Notes"
