FOXMAN-UN SNMP Southbound Interface
General
The SNMP southbound interface is provided via an agent manager type SNMP, running as a separate process called «snmpnetworkagentmgrd», under the control of and being started by the «procwatch» process. Towards FOXMAN-UN, it behaves like a standard FOXMAN-UN agent manager, towards the device as an SNMP manager. It will support alarm list retrieval and notifications. The respective inventory will be retrieved via the ENTITY MIB (v2 or v3, RFC 2737 or RFC 4133, respectively) or IF-MIB (RFC 2863). The references to the entity being the alarm source (via alarmActiveResourceId, 1.3.6.1.2.1.118.1.2.2.1.10) are expected to point to a useful entry in the entity physical table. Some specific devices support Enterprise MIB.
