Objective

Consulting and Contract Work or in any of the following areas:

· SNMP (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol) Training Seminars

· SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) & Agent Software Development

· SNMP Research EMANATEÓ SDK for Agent Development

· System Monitoring & Management using SNMP

· SNMPc (Castlerock Manager) Configuration

Mission

To provide quality services to clients who want to fast-track SNMP understanding and implementation, who have one-time development needs, or who have urgent project goals that cannot be satisfied internally.

I take responsibility for clear communications in defining your requirements, producing quality products, and documenting the resultant development efforts.

Excellent communication, documentation, and presentation skills.

Client inquiries from all locations are welcome.

Skills

SNMP Technology Seminars

· An excellent way to quickly bring a corporate team up to speed in SNMP technology.

· Essential information for Managers, Marketers, IT Professionals, and Developers.

o Seminars are presented at the client’s site and include:

§ PowerPoint presentations

§ Supplemental handouts

§ Practical exercises to provide Attendees hands-on SNMP experience.

§ Quick Quiz’s

· Seminar Teaching Modules Include:

o Foundations. Terminology, standards and versions, SNMP architecture, Agents & Managers, overview of MIB usage.

o Network Management. Principles of SNMP Network Management are illustrated using Castlerock’s SNMPc Network Manager. SNMP management debug tools are also introduced & used in class.

o Understanding MIBs. MIB syntax and semantics. MIB standards and ‘good style’ principles. Using MIB objects to manage networks. Fixing MIBs that don’t compile properly, and compensating for poorly designed MIBs.

o SNMP Agent Design. The development process, SDK selection criteria, details of message formats, coding topics, agent testing, and SNMP productization issues.

o SNMPv3. Why it was needed, security threats addressed, how messages are formatted & processed, how to configure the complex SNMPv3 MIBs.

o Entity MIB. Discussion of a standard MIB that is useful in chassis architecture modeling.

· Further seminar information can be viewed at www.chateausystems.com.

· Please call for a copy of our Power Point Overview of Seminar information.

SNMP MIB and Agent Development

· MIB design and Agent software development services are available together or separately.

· The MIB and Agent development process includes:

o Detailed meetings with the client’s development staff to define requirements.

o Documentation and presentation of detailed design specifications for the MIB and Agent to be developed.

o Development and testing of the actual MIBs and Agents.

· Target operating systems have included HP Unix, Tru64 Unix, vxWorks, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 & XP, µcos.

SNMP System Management

· Planning for SNMP system monitoring & management

· Utilizing native agents, and defining needs for custom enterprise agents
