ABSTRACT:
A standard SNMP management station is replaced by a client computer having a standard Web browser while utilizing the services of a Web/SNMP proxy agent in accordance with the present invention. The Internet locations of the ASN.1 specifications for various MIB modules, as well as other information resources associated with those MIB modules, are stored in resource records in a section of the DNS established for storing such information. The Web/SNMP proxy agent automatically locates the ASN.1 specification for each MIB module of any identified SNMP agent, by looking up the location in the DNS. The Web/SNMP proxy agent then compiles the ASN.1 MIB module specifications into HTML documents for viewing on the client computer. User requests for retrieving data from specified MIB objects and/or for sending data values to specified MIB objects are communicated from the client computer to the Web/SNMP proxy agent using standard HTTUP communications. When the specified SNMP agent is remotely located from the Web/SNMP proxy agent, the Web/SNMP proxy agent converts the user requests into SNMP packets that are communicated to the specified SNMP agent. SNMP reply packets are converted into HTML documents, generally by inserting the information in the reply packets into previously generated HTML MIB specification documents, that are then communicated back to the user's client computer.
