description: How to extend the Netware SNMP.NLM module to support the
INTEL-LAN-ADAPTERS MIB.


Overview:
=========

The iLANSNMP module extends the SNMP agent for Netware. It 
provides information on the Intel Pro Lan adapters (10/100/1000), 
through the adapter drivers (ce100b, ce1000), and additional 
information concerning the server features, such as teaming and vlan, 
throuhg the Advanced Networking Services (ANS) module.

This file describes how to enable the Netware SNMP module to support the
INTEL-LAN-ADAPTERS MIB.


Pre-Requisites:
===============

The SNMP agent package will work best when the Intel Pro Lan adapter 
drivers (ce100b, ce1000) and/or the Intel ANS module (ians) 
are installed and loaded on the system. However, the package will work
with any combination of the 3 modules mentioned above.

The SNMP agent package is compliant with the following driver versions:
- CE100b.lan: ver 4.11 and above
- CE1000.lan: ver 3.03 and above
- iANS.lan  : ver 4.14 and above


Installation instructions:
==========================

1. Type "Load <path\>iLANSNMP" on the server prompt.

2. Configure the SNMP community name according to Novell documentation.
   (e.g. type "Load SNMP ControlCommunity=" to enable GET and SET for
   any community name)

3. Register to receive Traps by adding the ip address of the management
   station to the list in the file SYS:\ETC\TRAPTARG.CFG.


Available commands:
===================

- "-h" or "help" - view the help description.

- "cache_time=<nn>" - define a time period that the data structure is
  considered to be valid.
  Two consecutive queries within that time will not cause update of the
  data. This value is set in tenths of a second.
  Default value: 50 (5 seconds).

- "trap_time=<nn>" - define the time period between two consecutive trap
  checks. The units are the same as for cache_time.
  Default value: 10 (1 second).

- "status" - view the current values of these variables.
