MODULE SUMMARY

Behaviour module for the SNMP agent network interface.

DESCRIPTION

This module defines the behaviour of the agent network interface. A snmpa_network_interface compliant module must export the following functions:

The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.

But this is not enough. There is also a set of mandatory messages which the network interface entity must be able to receive and be able to send. This is described in chapter snmp_agent_netif.

EXPORTS

start_link(Prio, NoteStore, MasterAgent, Opts) -> {ok, Pid} | {error, Reason}

Types:

Prio = priority()
NoteStore = pid()
MasterAgent = pid()
Opts = [opt()]
opt() = {verbosity, verbosity()} | {versions, versions()} | term()
versions() = [version()]
version() = v1 | v2 | v3

Start-link the network interface process.

NoteStore is the pid of the note-store process and MasterAgent is the pid of the master-agent process.

Opts is an (basically) implementation dependent list of options to the network interface process. There are however a number of options which must be handled: versions and verbosity.

verbosity(Pid, Verbosity) -> void()

Types:

Pid = pid()
Verbosity = verbosity()

Change the verbosity of a running network interface process.
