SCLI -- SNMP COMMAND LINE INTERFACE =================================== Copyright (c) 2001-2002 Juergen Schoenwaelder, TU Braunschweig, Germany Copyright (c) 2003-2007 Juergen Schoenwaelder, IU Bremen, Germany $Id: README 2105 2007-01-02 22:37:19Z schoenw $ DESCRIPTION =========== The scli package written to address the need for small and efficient command line utilities to monitor and configure network devices and host systems. The scli package is based on the SNMP management protocol. The implementation utilizes a MIB compiler called smidump to generate C stub code. In fact, virtually no SNMP knowledge is required in order to extend the scli program with new features. To summarize, the slogan for this little package is: "After more than 10 years of SNMP, I felt it is time for really useful command line SNMP monitoring and configuration tools. ;-)" INSTALLATION ============ To compile scli, you need the following packages: - GNU readline version 4.X - glib version 2.0.X - gnet version 2.0.X - gsnmp version 0.2.X - ncurses version 5.X (or a native working curses implementation) - libxml2 The package compiles cleanly with gcc. Other C compilers have not been tested and may generate various errors/warnings. Please consult the files INSTALL for the building the scli package and PORTING for some additional notes for some specific platforms. REPORTING BUGS ============== Please report any bugs to the scli mailing list. A bug report should at a minimum contain the version number of the scli package, the operating system name and version number, plus everything needed to understand the problem. This includes a description why you actually believe that there is a bug. If you got a core dump, please send us a readable backtrace. If there was a problem with a certain SNMP agent, please let us know which agent you were using and try to catch SNMP message exchanges that help to understand the problem. (You may want to run a recent version of tcpdump to catch the messages.) MAILING LIST ============ The scli mailing list is <scli@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>. For subscribing to the list, send a message with the subject ``subscribe'' to <scli-request@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>.
