EMANATE/Lite is a monolithic SNMP agent, which
includes a powerful development toolkit for adding MIB extensions
to the agent at compile time. EMANATE/Lite is ideally suited for
use in embedded systems because it provides full SNMP support with
a minimal footprint.
EMANATE/Lite is the "traditional" monolithic compile-time
extensible SNMP agent. This simply means that in order to add new
MIB variables to the agent, it is necessary to have access to the
source code, and to compile and link in the new extensions to the
MIB already supported by the agent.
EMANATE/Lite software provides the core SNMP protocol
engine that should be installed within each SNMP managed element
or device. It receives and responds to SNMP queries and commands
issued from SNMP management stations. EMANATE/Lite provides access
to management information for each of the managed protocol layers
within the network element.
EMANATE/Lite from SNMP Research can be compiled
to support SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. This trilingual option preserves
the investment in current management technology while providing
a smooth transition to SNMPv3-based management.

EMANATE/Lite ...
- fully supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
This includes support for security and administration, authentication,
authorization, access control, and privacy.
- is designed with modular architecture
that eases the task of porting EMANATE/Lite to new platforms.
- can be easily extended to provide support
for additional MIB variables.
- includes Agent tools and automatic code
generators, which accelerate development by creating large portions
of the code.
- provides method routines that are protocol
independent but MIB dependent.
- supports all MIB II variables, including
read-write variables (sets) that can be supported without altering
the kernel or device driver source code. The underlying platforms
influence which variables are available.
- has multi-phase set routines, which provide
compliant write access to the MIB variables.
- has a singly-threaded Agent that processes
one Protocol Data Unit (PDU) at a time (synchronous), first in,
first out. The Agent parses the PDU packet, processes it, and
creates the response.
