Introduction

The Advanced Query Tool is used to create any SNMP request and is very useful for developers in any test phases. It could help anyone to understand how the SNMP protocol works and could be used to check that an agent is well responding to specific SNMP requests. In production phase, it is easier to use other tools and plugin directly available from the MIB tree.

The Advanced Query tool is one of the first created tool within LoriotPro that uses the DSNMP class that is the kernel of Loriotpro.

Avanced Query tool

The principle of this tool is based on a graphical SNMP object Tree. From the tree you could click on a SNMP object and an immediate SNMP GET will be sent to the selected host specified in the ‘SNMP agent IP address’ field and the ‘SNMP Port’ field.

This process integrates a SMNP protocol analyzer that is very useful to debug any communication between the manager and the agent.

You could also perform modification (modify section) on the remote host with SNMP SET commands.
