Re: agent/module, monitoring, and traps

Thanks Dave!

Would you mind telling me which MIB would do the trick for me?
and how I might implement the "get status".  Also how
would I implement the "commands" (startup/shutdown/ping).
And finally what would the TRAP portion look like?

Thanks again! appreciate it.
