+ <description>
+
+ <p><c>Common Test</c> user interface module for the <c>SNMP</c>
+ application.</p>
+
+ <p>The purpose of this module is to simplify SNMP configuration for the
+ test case writer. Many test cases can use default values for common
+ operations and then no SNMP configuration files need to be supplied.
+ When it is necessary to change particular configuration parameters, a
+ subset of the relevant SNMP configuration files can be passed to
+ <c>ct_snmp</c> by <c>Common Test</c> configuration files. For more
+ specialized configuration parameters, a simple SNMP configuration file
+ can be placed in the test suite data directory. To simplify the test
+ suite, <c>Common Test</c> keeps track of some of the SNMP manager
+ information. This way the test suite does not have to handle as many
+ input parameters as if it had to interface wthe OTP SNMP manager
+ directly.</p>

+ <c>vacm.conf</c>, <c>usm.conf</c>, <c>notify.conf</c>,
+ <c>target_addr.conf</c>, and <c>target_params.conf</c>. Notice that
+ all values in <c>agent.conf</c> can be modified by the parameters
+ listed above. All these configuration files have default values set by
+ the <c>SNMP</c> application. These values can be overridden by suppling
+ a list of valid configuration values or a file located in the test
+ suites data directory, which can produce a list of valid configuration
+ values if you apply function <c>file:consult/1</c> to the file.</p>

+ </taglist>
+
+ <p>Parameter <c>MgrAgentConfName</c> in the functions is to be a name
+ you allocate in your test suite using a <c>require</c> statement.
+ Example (where <c>MgrAgentConfName = snmp_mgr_agent</c>):</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ suite() -&gt; [{require, snmp_mgr_agent, snmp}].</pre>
+
+ <p>or</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ ct:require(snmp_mgr_agent, snmp).</pre>
+
+ <p>Notice that USM users are needed for SNMPv3 configuration and are
+ not to be confused with users.</p>
+
+ <p>SNMP traps, inform, and report messages are handled by the user
+ callback module. For details, see the
+ <seealso marker="snmp"><c>SNMP</c></seealso> application.</p>
+
+ <p>It is recommended to use the <c>.hrl</c> files created by the
+ Erlang/OTP MIB compiler to define the Object Identifiers (OIDs).
+ For example, to get the Erlang node name from <c>erlNodeTable</c>
+ in the OTP-MIB:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ Oid = ?erlNodeEntry ++ [?erlNodeName, 1]</pre>
+
+ <p>Furthermore, values can be set for <c>SNMP</c> application configuration
+ parameters, <c>config</c>, <c>server</c>, <c>net_if</c>, and so on (for
+ a list of valid parameters and types, see the User's Guide for
+ the <seealso marker="snmp"><c>SNMP</c></seealso> application). This is
+ done by defining a configuration data variable on the following form:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ {snmp_app, [{manager, [snmp_app_manager_params()]},
+ {agent, [snmp_app_agent_params()]}]}.</pre>
+
+ <p>A name for the data must be allocated in the suite using
+ <c>require</c> (see the example above). Pass this name as argument
+ <c>SnmpAppConfName</c> to
+ <seealso marker="#start-3"><c>ct_snmp:start/3</c></seealso>.
+ <c>ct_snmp</c> specifies default values for some <c>SNMP</c> application
+ configuration parameters (such as <c>{verbosity,trace}</c> for parameter
+ <c>config</c>). This set of defaults is merged with the parameters
+ specified by the user. The user values override <c>ct_snmp</c>
+ defaults.</p>
