[manager] Introduced a new transport module, snmpm_net_if_mt, which handles all incomming and outgoing traffic in newly created processes. The message/request is processed and then the process exits.

[agent] Removed (more) use of old style tuple funs.

[agent] Repeated vacm table dumping fails due to file name conflict. When dumping the vacm table to disk, a temoporary file with a fixed name was used. If the table dumping (snmpa_vacm:dump_table/0) was initiated from several different processes in rapid succesion, the dumping could fail because the different processes was simultaniously trying to write to the same file. This problem has been eliminated by creating a unique name for the temporary file.

[compiler] Improved version info printout from the MIB compiler frontend escript.

[agent] Version 4.20 introduced a change that broke trap sending from subagents. Due to a bug in the test code, this was not discovered, until that bug was fixed.

[agent] When sending an error message (reply) regarding snmpUnknownPDUHandlers, the agent used the wrong OID.

[compiler] Fix the --warnings/--W option parsing in the snmpc wrapper (e)script. The short warning option was incorrectly --w, instead of as documented --W. This has now been corrected.

[compiler] Used wrong variable name (for warnings-as-errors variable), which caused the compiler to crash when using the snmpc (e)script.

Also added the option --Werror for the SNMP MIB compiler (escript) frontend (to mimic erlc), which specifies whether warnings should be treated as errors.

Own Id: OTP-9447

[agent] Some very minor debugging improvements.

Own Id: OTP-9446

[manager] There was no way to specify transport domain. The transport domains was assumed to be IPv4 (transportDomainUdpIpv4). This has now been changed so that it can also be IPv6 (transportDomainUdpIpv6). To facilitate this, the transport domain, tdomain, is now a (new) valid option when registering a new agent (and updating agent info).

This also mean that the transport behaviour has changed.

Own Id: OTP-9305

Aux Id: Seq 11847

[compiler] Added the option warnings_as_errors (for the SNMP MIB compiler (escript) frontend, the option --wae is used) which specifies whether warnings should be treated as errors.

The snmp config tool could not handle (manager) audit trail config because the option seqno was not handled.

[agent] Added support for sending traps to IPv6 targets.

[agent] To be able to handle multiple engine-id(s) when sending trap(s), the function add_community/6 has been added.

[manager] The API for snmp requests has been augmented to allow the caller to override some configuration.

This has been done by introducing a new set of API functions, see sync_get2/3,4, async_get2/3,4, sync_get_next2/3,4, async_get_next2/3,4, sync_get_bulk2/5,6, async_get_bulk2/5,6, sync_set2/3,4 and async_set2/3,4 for more info.

Own Id: OTP-9162

[manager] The old API functions (for get and set requests: snmpm:g/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:ag/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:gn/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:agn/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:s/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:s/3,4,5,6,7, snmpm:gb/5,6,7,8,9 and snmpm:agb/5,6,7,8,9) are now officially deprecated. They will be removed as of R16B.

Fixed endode/decode of values of type Counter32.

This type (Counter32) is an unsigned integer 32, but is actually encoded as an signed integer 32. The encode/decode functions however, treated it as if it was encodeded as an unsigned integer 32.

Own Id: OTP-9022

[compiler] Added support for textual convention AGENT-CAPABILITIES and "full" support for textual convention MODULE-COMPLIANCE, both defined by the SNMPv2-CONF mib.

The reference and modules part(s) are stored in the assocList of the mib-entry (me) record. Only handled if the option(s) agent_capabilities and module_compliance (respectively) are provided to the compiler.

See compile/2 for more info.

For backward compatibillity, the MIBs provided with this application are not compiled with these options.

Own Id: OTP-8966

[agent] Added a "complete" set of (snmp) table and variable print functions, for each mib handled by the SNMP (agent) application. This will be usefull when debugging a running agent.

See print_mib_info/0, print_mib_tables/0 and print_mib_variables/0 for more info.

Own Id: OTP-8977

[compiler] Added a MIB compiler (frontend) escript, snmpc.

Own Id: OTP-9004

[agent] For the table vacmAccessTable, when performing the is_set_ok and set operation(s), all values of the vacmAccessSecurityModel column was incorrectly translated to any.

Own Id: OTP-8980

[agent] When calling snmp_view_based_acm_mib:reconfigure/1 on a running node, the table vacmAccessTable was not properly cleaned. This meant that if some entries in the vacm.conf file was removed (compared to the current config), while others where modified and/or added, the removed entrie(s) would still exist in the vacmAccessTable table.

Prepared for R14B release.

When the function FilterMod:accept_recv/2 returned false the SNMP agent stopped collecting messages from UDP.

[agent] Added very basic support for multiple SNMPv3 EngineIDs in a single agent. See send_notification/7, process_packet/7, generate_response_msg/6 or generate_msg/6 for more info.

Own Id: OTP-8478

[compiler] The SMI specifies that a table row OID should be named: { <tableIdentifier> "1" }.

A new option has been introduced, relaxed_row_name_assign_check, that allows for a more liberal numbering scheme

Own Id: OTP-8574

[agent|manager] Changes to make snmp (forward) compatible with the new version of the crypto application (released in R14). As of R14, crypto is implemented using NIFs. Also, the API is more strict.

[manager] Fixed an upgrade/downgrade problem.

[agent] A minor mnesia related performance improvement.

[agent|manager] Entries in the audit trail log can now be augmented by a sequence number.

This is enabled by the seqno option, which is part of the Audit Trail Log config option.

[manager] Registration of agents using the config file, agents.conf, does not work. This has now been corrected.

Per Hedeland

Own Id: OTP-8442

The config utility (snmp:config/0) generated a default notify.conf with a bad name for the standard trap entry (was "stadard trap", but should have been "standard trap"). This has been corrected.

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Own Id: OTP-8249

[manager] When information from an unknown agent is received, it was previously delivered to the default user via calls to all the functions of the callback API depending on the info type (pdu, trap, report or inform). The problem was that the TargetName argument was useless in this case (only an already known agent has a known/valid TargetName, but the TargetName used in these calls was generated "on the fly").

This has now been changed so that when a message is received from an unknown agent, then only handle_agent (for the default user) is called, but now this call also has a Type argument, which is pdu | trap | report | inform, depending on what kind of message was actually received, thus making it possible for the user to properly analyze the data received.

To handle this, the snmpm_user behaviour has been updated.
