Examples include applications like snmpget (to get one or more SNMP variables), snmpgetnext (to do a getnext on one more SNMP variables). Multiple versions of these applications are available in the different directories. You can use them to query for information from the SNMP agents available on your network. All the applications that are used to query an agent have almost identical syntax. As a general rule, all the command line tools will give help information when you just type

       java < command-name >

For example, to get help information on the command snmpgetnext, just type

       java snmpgetnext

To compile or execute the application you have to set the classpath to the current directory and the classes directory. You have to run setenv.bat or setenv.sh (depending on the operating system environment you use) to set the JAVA_HOME_DIR and CLASSPATH environment variables.

The distribution also comes with MibBrowser Applet and several other example applets. To load and view the applets you have to run the SAS (SNMP Applet Server) and the Web Server provided. Start the WebServer and SAS using the utility file /bin/start_server.bat for windows environment and /bin/start_server.sh for unix environment. To use the applet in WebBrowser, type the URL

    http:// < host name > :8282/
