The SNMP protocol provides the capability to monitor and manage switches, routers, printers, desktops, and other equipment in your network. This SNMP library is written in pure Ruby so that your network management scripts can go anywhere that Ruby does without installing additional libraries or tools.

The 0.2.0 release supports the GetRequest, GetNextRequest, GetBulkRequest, SetRequest, and Response PDUs and all of the ASN.1 data types defined by SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. Support for trap handling will be coming in the 0.3.0 release.
