Welcome to Webbin' CMIP

Webbin' CMIP uses simple URLs as starting points. For this reason, you have to specify only such starting points. Please try to do not write complex URLs by hand instead of using Webbin' CMIP. This is error prone and is against the principle of Webbin' CMIP where users do not have to deal with complex things.

• Authentication
  If you decide to use the HTTP authentication to protect some of the operations you want to perform with Webbin' CMIP (for instance DELETE) please copy the files contained into the Security/ directory into the root directory (where the Liasion is located) and customize them.

• CMIP
  In order to use CMIP, you need a CMIP agent up and running. If you have one then the URL is http://<localhost>:1998/CMIP/GET/<the AETitle of your running agent>/. For instance suppose that your host is called misa.zurich.ibm.com and that the AETitle is MIBCTL then the starting URL is http://misa.zurich.ibm.com:1998/CMIP/GET/MIBCTL/. In case you're using object identifiers which are not included in MIBcomposer.summary, please add them up if you want to deal with symbolic object identifiers instead of numeric ones.

• SNMP
  In order to use SNMP, you need to customize the file discovery.cfg including your local hosts first. Then the URL you have to use is the following http://<localhost>:1998/SNMP/DISCOVERY/. For instance suppose that your host is called misa.zurich.ibm.com then the starting URL is http://misa.zurich.ibm.com:1998/SNMP/DISCOVERY/. Do not forget that SNMP is based on UDP that's quite unreliable. Hence do not use SNMP to manage networks connected with slow or unreliable links because you may encounter major problems. Instead, you can use SNMP to manage your local LAN.

Webbin' CMIP is a research prototype hence it may contain errors. In this case we would appreciate if you can report them to us using the error report form. Many thanks.

Have fun!
