Product Description
Essential Guide to SNMP MIB Development, Use, and Diagnosis. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows Managers (software) to communicate with Agents (also software) on network-managed devices, to collect status, for configuration and control, and to receive unsolicited events (traps). A MIB (Management Information Base) is a file containing syntax defining data objects to be managed and traps to be sent. MIB objects and their values are the focus of the protocol. Simplicity of SNMP is the reason for its initial and continued success -- simple MIB objects define information sent using a simple message set. Yet it is flexible and scalable, used to manage small networks as well as large, distributed networks. This handbook is intended for developers (MIB and agent designers) and end-users (network engineers and IT-management specialists). It serves as an instructional manual and as a reference, and contains case descriptions, examples, practical advice, clear descriptions of standards, user exercises and quiz questions. It is an important book for anyone involved with SNMP, suitable for those new to the protocol as well as for experienced practitioners.

A clear overview of SNMP and detailed MIB design guide September 15, 2008
I am managing a new project that has SNMP as a feature requirement. I needed to get a good working familiarity with the technology fast. After reading two other popular books on the subject I found the SNMP MIB Handbook by Larry Walsh a much easier read and much more informative. Concepts are presented in a logical order that makes sense the first time through. Practical issues and common problems are discussed in detail and help avoid the numerous pitfalls a first time MIB developer would run into. It has become my primary reference book for the subject.
Now I understand MIBs September 12, 2008
I have worked with an SNMP network management system for several years and have always struggled with the terminology in general and the construction of MIBs specifically. After only a few minutes of reading the book I realized that this book would explain a lot of areas that I had had problems with. It really peaked my interest and I found that I couldn't put it down.
Clear writing and essential information August 15, 2008
I purchased this book to use as an intro text for the development of my first SNMP agent. The first 3 chapters provided the solid base of general SNMP understanding I needed to understand the role an agent plays in the overall protocol, and provided essential insight into the industry conventions, and the difference between the different SNMP versions. I also like the book's organization. Whenever a new term or concept was introduced, it was explained nearby, so I didn't find myself having to flip back and forth through the book to figure out what was going on.
It turns out that developing a good MIB is hard, so the real gold of the book is the latter part of the book, which details everything you need to know about MIBs, from traps to complex tables, and discusses many common mistakes made during MIB development.
I can use "the google", so before I bought this book I browsed around the internet thinking I could pick up what I would need from faqs and specs. It turned out that it's difficult to find good complete SNMP information floating around out there. I could find bits and pieces, but critical nagging details were always missing.
A Valuable Reference for MIB Developers and Users June 19, 2008

If you are a MIB network manager, developer or user, you need this book. It will help network managers to identify bad MIB's, developers to write correct MIB's, and users to repair MIB's. Novice or expert, there's something in this book for you.
There are many illustrations, screen shots, and examples of actual MIB's. This is one of the easiest SNMP books to read and understand because of its excellent organization. The author starts with basic concepts and builds from there. And, because this book provides such a clear and concise guide to MIB's, it is an excellent companion to "Essential SNMP" by Mauro and Schmidt.
Clear and Concise Guide to SNMP MIB Development June 7, 2008

A well written, logically organized text targeted at developers and end-users.
The author lays a strong foundation with the SNMP tutorial followed by a meticulous, step-by-step description of how to construct high quality MIBs. He has managed to balance the need to cover advanced concepts without glossing over the basic concepts. The text works as both an instructional manual and a reference.
I strongly recommend that you purchase this text. Personally, I keep it within arm's reach.
