Performing SNMP queries

The RIV::SnmpAccess module allows client/server scripts that use the Perl API to retrieve SNMP information from a network device through the SNMP helper.

To write client/server Perl scripts that retrieve SNMP information from network devices you typically use the RIV::Param, RIV::App, and RIV::SnmpAccess modules.

Note: Discovery agent Perl scripts should not use the RIV::SnmpAccess module. Discovery agent Perl scripts use the RIV::Agent module, which provides its own methods to perform SNMP operations through the SNMP helper.
