SNMPc contains canned reports of MIB table information that can be compiled hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or over user-configurable periods. The quality and detail of the reported information is good. All reports can be exported and scheduled to a text file, HTML, or ODBC database (SQL Server, MSSQL or Access). SNMPc also comes with Air Messenger Pro 3.8.1 alphanumeric paging software.
Included tools were a Win32 remote console, a Java console and a remote polling agent. The remote console is a thin client that connects terminal-service style to the SNMPc server. The remote console is a mirror of the host program, so any changes made to either the remote console or the host program are reflected in the other in real time.
The Java console is a sufficient but read-only look into the network map, reports and MIB information. Remote polling lets you use a discovery agent on another machine to reduce workload on the original server or search for devices over a slow connection.
SNMPc is a comprehensive Layer 3 monitoring device for IP and IPX networks. Its autodiscovery is a beast, but when tamed can be on par with Unicenter's and OpenView's discovery processes. SNMPc's reporting options and remote console are acceptable.
