SNMP Sniffer

The SNMP Sniffer receives, formats and displays SNMP packets in real-time. By reading the SNMP MIB, the Sniffer displays SNMP packet information in a verbose format using MIB strings.

The sniffer is highly configurable helping you to debug, monitor and analyze your SNMP network, agent or manager.

Full logging capabilities record packet transactions for later analysis, while an easy-to-understand graphical user interface provides a real-time display of the network activity. Built-in OID and IP address filtering eliminates unnecessary information providing faster problem analysis.

Packet Display Features
  • Each packet captured is given a packet number and is displayed along with host information concerning the source and destination of the packet. The time of the packet capture is also displayed.
  • Each SNMP packet is parsed, and the values contained within the SNMP data fields are given. These fields include version, community, PDU type, request ID, error status, and error index.
  • The VarBinds (variable bindings) information for each packet are displayed in a separate part of the window. This accommodates packets with multiple VarBinds.
  • SNMP version 1 trap packets do not contain the same fields as other SNMP packets. The field values of v1 trap packets are listed in a separate window.

    Packet Display and Filtering Options
  • Display options allow the user to utilize IP-to-DNS conversion, resolve OIDs (object identifiers), display time in AM/PM format, and show/hide the gridlines on the display.
  • The user may choose to only capture packets from/to a certain IP address. Filtering may also be done on SNMP version or PDU type. Filtering on ports other than the standard SNMP UDP port (161) is also supported.
  • Filter options determine which packets are captured, not which packets ignored by the packet capture driver.

    Capture Status
  • When a packet capture session is begun, a dialog box displays the elapsed time of the current capture and the number of SNMP packets accepted by the capture driver.
