PROBLEM STATEMENT:

To write a program to implement a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server and client
using Twisted framework to enable communication between network devices for managing and
monitoring purposes.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol for monitoring and
managing network devices on a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

The purpose of SNMP is to provide network devices, such as routers, servers and printers, with a
common language for sharing information with a network management system (NMS).

SNMP's client-server architecture has the three following components:

1. an SNMP manager;

2. an SNMP agent; and

3. a management information base (MIB).

The SNMP manager acts as the client, the SNMP agent acts as the server and the MIB acts as the
server's database. When the SNMP manager asks the agent a question, the agent uses the MIB to
supply the answer.

Components of SNMP
There are four main components in an SNMP-managed network.
• SNMP agent
• Agent software runs on the hardware or service being monitored, collecting data about
disk space, bandwidth use and other important network performance metrics.
• SNMP-managed network nodes
• These are the network devices and services upon which the agents run.
• SNMP manager
• The NMS is a software platform that functions as a centralized console to which agents
feed information. The NMS will actively request agents to send updates at regular
intervals.
• Management information base
• This MIB database is a text file (.mib) that itemizes and describes all objects on a
particular device that can be queried or controlled using SNMP. Each MIB item is
assigned an object identifier (OID).

Model of SNMP System

SNMP defines five types of messages: GetRequest, GetNextRequest, SetRequest, GetResponse,


and Trap.
Illustration:

ALGORITHM:
Server Side
Step 1: Create a SNMP server using the Twisted framework.
Step 2: Listen for incoming SNMP requests on a specific port.
Step 3: When a request is received, extract the data from the request.
Step 4: Process the SNMP request data to determine the appropriate response.
Step 5: Prepare the response message based on the processed request data.
Step 6: Send the response message back to the client that made the request.

Client Side
Step 1: Create a SNMP client using the Twisted framework.
Step 2: Establish a connection with the SNMP server by specifying the server's IP addressand port
number.
Step 3: Construct an SNMP request message.
Step 4: Send the SNMP request message to the server.
Step 5: Wait for the response from the server.
Step 6: Upon receiving the response, extract and process the response data as needed.

CODE:

SENDER SIDE:
zrom twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.protocol import DatagramProtocol
class SNMPProtocol(DatagramProtocol): def data-
gramReceived(self, data, addr):
print("Received data from {}: {}".format(addr, data))
# Process the SNMP request here and prepare the responseresponse =
"SNMP response"
self.transport.write(response.encode(), addr)

def run_server():
reactor.listenUDP(161, SNMPProtocol())reactor.run()

run_server
RECEIVER SIDE:
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.protocol import DatagramProtocol

class SNMPClientProtocol(DatagramProtocol):def
startProtocol(self):
self.transport.connect('127.0.0.1', 161)self.sendRe-
quest()

def sendRequest(self):
request = "SNMP request"
self.transport.write(request.encode())

def datagramReceived(self, data, addr):


print("Received data from {}: {}".format(addr, data))# Pro-
cess the SNMP response here

def run_client():
reactor.listenUDP(0, SNMPClientProtocol())reac-
tor.run()

run_client()

SAMPLE INPUT/OUTPUT:
SERVER SIDE
CLIENT SIDE

RESULT: Thus, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using Twisted Python was
implemented and tested successfully.
