SNMP Command Responder

The SNMP Command Responder daemon runs one or more SNMP agents and maintains one or more trees of SNMP managed objects (i.e. MIBs). The user can interface those managed objects with the data they are willing to serve over SNMP.

SNMP requests received by any of the embedded SNMP agents can be routed to any of the MIB trees for processing via a declarative mini-language.

The use-case for SNMP Command Responder is to serve user data over SNMP.
