snmp in qt

sitesv

Hi!
IS there any ways to create a snmp client and server in qt?
Or external libs or manual parsing/sending only?

Hi,

I would say yes based on this commercial product.

mzimmers

@SGaist interesting, though they don't really say what makes it a "Qt Edition." I can't think of anything about the agent and manager processes in SNMP that would require a Qt layer; it's a really low-level protocol. Do you know anyone who's used this product?

SGaist

@mzimmers they may have implemented the protocol using Qt.

No I do not know anyone who used it (to the best of my knowledge);

SNMP is implemented using UDP (port 161 and 162) as the transport. It is quite straightforward to use Qt networking to send and receive these datagrams, you would just need to (de)construct the datagram payloads. The net-snmp library can probably help with a lot of the problem.

Your application may need to run with elevated privilege to access the low ports.
