The +SNMP stack was written from scratch to provide an efficient and +portable tcl SNMP extension. MIB extensions can be written in tcl by +running the scotty extension as an SNMP agent. This allows you to +implement your own specific MIB without getting in contact with the +lowlevel ASN.1/BER stuff. + +The scotty package includes scripts for the tkined network editor to +troubleshoot your IP network (ping, traceroute, finger, query tcp +services, query RPC services), for monitoring network status plus +scripts to discover and layout the topology of your IP network. SNMP +based scripts can be used to dump routing tables, to query interface +status and to monitor SNMP variables. There is also a MIB browser to +inspect the MIB hierarchy. + +More information is available via WWW under the URL: + + http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/projects/nm/scotty/ + +If you have problems installing scotty or if you have made any changes +to run scotty on your hardware or if you have found any bugs, please +contact us. Discussion about scotty is currently done on the tkined +mailing list.
