This is a notice of a Birds of a Feather that Frontier will host at Sprint Interop. Any ideas on content, direction, or attendance is appreciated. Please send replies to WinSnmp@FrontierTech.COM. Interop Spring 1993: Birds of a Feather Creating A Standard SNMP API for Microsoft Windows John F. Moehrke, Frontier Technologies Corp. WinSnmp@FrontierTech.COM With the unprecedented success of Microsoft Windows 3.x, the efforts of the Windows Sockets Specification, and the need for Management among numorous network nodes, there is a need to define a standard interface for Network Management. The SNMP Protocol and MIB-II provide a powerful base to work with, and build on. Without a standard method of extending the information base, Windows hosts provide nothing but statistics. As more and more systems come online there becomes a need to manage more than what MIB-II provides. What this BOF will discuss is the need to make available an open interface that will allow a network management vendor to provide a management station and extended MIBs for each SNMP Agent. With this open standard interface will come network managers that can update a Windows system, change printers, configure new file servers, and much more. Only with an open standard can we ensure that the network management stations can do an effective task. John F. Moehrke Frontier Technologies Corp.
