MIB Smithy SDK project is a dynamic Tcl/Tk extension for developing your own SNMP management scripts and SMI conversion tools (with or without a GUI).

MIB Smithy SDK is based on the core library that MIB Smithy Professional and Standard are built upon, providing the user an API with all of the internal capabilities of MIB Smithy (and benefits thereof) without the GUI.

Includes XML Import support and built-in MIB validation so an external MIB compiler isn't needed (MIB Smithy SDK is its own compiler).

Here are some key features of "MIB Smithy SDK":
Linked to the Tcl "Stubs" Library so it will work with Tcl 8.1 or later
Imports SMIv1 MIB Modules (RFCs 1065, 1155, 12122, 1215)
Imports SMIv2 MIB Modules (RFCs 2576, 2578, 2579, 2580)
Imports COPS-PR-SPPI PIB Modules (RFC 3159)
Includes over 200 IETF and IANA standard MIB modules
ALL information from MIB definitions is available via the APIs -- not just a tiny subset provided by an external compiler.
Import modules from XML or SMI format directly (no external compiler needed).
Provides both read and write access to MIB definitions, rather than read-only access provided by similar extensions.
Full support for even the most obscure areas of the SMI that similar extensions lack.
Duplicate record names are not a problem with the SDK's flexible search algorithm.
Ability to create custom compiler output formats
SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 Management APIs with Authentication and Privacy
Provides both blocking and non-blocking/callback modes for request processing
Unlimited number of concurrent SNMP Sessions
Unlimited number concurrent SMI Databases for isolating MIBs for different agents/projects.
Unlimited number of MIB files/modules in each database
Each session can be configured to use its own SMI Database or the default.
Built-in Compiler/Validation API
Configurable output channel for compiler messages
Automatic SMI syntax checking and error correction
Over 560 MIB Validation checks performed to ensure SMI compliance
Integrated with MOODSS, a popular general-purpose open-source monitoring environment.
Includes an optional Scotty/TNM Compatiblity Module providing support for most of its "mib" and "snmp" APIs.
SNMPv3/USM Key Generation, Localization and KeyChange interfaces - NEW!
More to come... Need a feature? Let us know!

Command-Line Tools:

rfc2mib - Extract MIB and ASN.1 modules from RFC documents
micheck - MIB validation/cross-checking tool.
snmpget - Send SNMP Get Requests
snmpnext - Send SNMP Get-Next Requests
snmpwalk - Perform a Get-Next walk an given MIB subtree or entire agent
snmpset - Send SNMP Set Requests
snmpbulk - Send SNMP Get-Bulk Requests
snmpinform - Send SNMPv2/v3 Inform Requests
snmptrap - Send SNMP Traps
snmptrapd - SNMP Trap/Notification monitor/daemon
mibinfo - Query MIB/PIB module properties from the command line

These tools are provided in the form of fully-functional sample Tcl scripts to help get you started in creating your own. They may be freely modified and redistributed (see scripts for details), though all but rfc2mib do require MIB Smithy SDK to function. (Note: you can also download the rfc2mib.tcl script separately from the Free Stuff area.)
