SMUX

SMUX is a protocol that defines how certain daemons (SMUX peers) provide information about and carry out control requests on devices on a network. The SMUX peers communicate with a process called an SNMP agent (Simple Network Management Protocol agent). This agent acts as the central processing point on a single host for queries and commands sent from a network management station. Network administrators use these network management stations to monitor the status of devices anywhere on the network, and to issue commands that affect the operation or status of those devices.

SMUX library routines (SLIB)

Routine	Description
snmpio_api	network I/O and timestamp routines for SNMP management applications
snmp_pdu	operations on SMUX PDUs
snmp_authentication	SNMP authentication operations
smux_util	SMUX library routines

SMUX peers developed with the SCO OpenServer Development System use the library routines listed in ``SMUX library routines (SLIB)'' to communicate with an SNMP agent.
