man snmpm_network_interface () - Behaviour module for the SNMP manager network interface.

NAME

snmpm_network_interface - Behaviour module for the SNMP manager network interface.

DESCRIPTION

This module defines the behaviour of the manager network interface. A snmpm_network_interface compliant module must export the following functions:

*
start_link/2
*
stop/1
*
send_pdu/7
*
note_store/2
*
verbosity/2

The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.

EXPORTS

start_link(Server, NoteStore) -> {ok, Pid} | {error, Reason}

Types
Server = pid()

NoteStore = pid()

Start-link the network interface process.

Server is the pid of the managing process.

NoteStore is the pid of the note-store process.

stop(Pid) -> void()

Types
Pid = pid()

Stop the network interface process.

send_pdu(Pid, Pdu, Vsn, MsgData, Addr, Port, ExtraInfo) -> void()

Types
Pid = pid()

Pdu = pdu()

Vsn = 'version-1' | 'version-2' | 'version-3'

MsgData = term()

Addr = address()

Port = integer()

ExtraInfo = term()

Request the network interface process (Pid) to send this pdu (Pdu).

ExtraInfo is some opaque data that is passed to the net-if process. It originates from the ExtraInfo parameter in the calls to the synchronous get-request, asynchronous get-request, synchronous get-next-request, asynchronous get-next-request, synchronous set-request and asynchronous set-request. Whether the net-if process chooses to use this is implementation dependent. The net-if process included in this application ignores it.

note_store(Pid, NoteStore) -> void()

Types
Pid = pid()

NoteStore = pid()

Change the pid of the note-store process. This is used when the server re-starts the note_store (e.g. after a crach).

verbosity(Pid, Verbosity) -> void()

Types
Pid = pid()

Verbosity = verbosity()

Change the verbosity of the network interface process.
