Network auto-discovery using SNMP and .NET

Question

Are there any libraries, (third party is fine) that can help do network auto-discovery using SNMP and .NET?

If not, have you ever rolled your own?

Answer 1

I've recently come across Sharp SNMP Suite which I think does what you're asking for. I say "think" as I've not actually used it myself yet! I've just started looking into SNMP for the first time for a forthcoming project.

Answer 2

as the author of #SNMP, I can confirm that it supports basic auto discovery feature. Just simply call Manager.Discover. There is also a discussion thread for your reference.

Answer 3

• HP OpenView does network discovery using SNMP. It might be worth looking into how they do it
• Another suggestion is to work out your gateway and get the routers it is connected to via SNMP

Answer 4

It's a little old topic but may still be useful for someones. I use to work with SNMP from Oidview, they have a trial as well.

But can it be used from a .NET application? – Shirting
