Free SNMP

[johnkaftan]

Looking for a decent free SNMP software. Can anyone recommend free or very inexpensive basic Network Management Software that I could use to manage SNMP. I am looking to setup basic network monitoring and alerting.

Hi there,

There is some very good free software that I use. Have a look at:-

NetSNMP

http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/

MRTG

TrapReciever

http://www.ncomtech.com/trapreceiver.html

Failing that - have a look at these open source offerings:

Hope that helps a bit - if it does - give it a rating

PS - If you're a bit of a linux chap, then there are loads more options and you can build enterprise network management with OpenNMS (http://www.opennms.org) or Nagios (http://www.nagios.org)

Google for Getif. While it will not do much for you as a monitoring solution, it will help a bunch when you are setting things up and testing SNMP MIBs.
