NMSCore

Network Ferret has existed for 20+ years. With v12 we have extracted general features into NMSCore so developers can write applications independent of discovery and take advantage of 20+ years of experience.

NMSCore provides infrastructure for independent applications:

1
System-wide services
2
Multi-threaded Agents
3
Extensive SNMP support
4
NetConf, REST and VMWare
5
Logging, caching and other support

System-wide Services

Services shared among applications:

  • Ping
  • Credential determination and DB for all protocols
  • SNMP MIB Dumps
  • Caches, DNS lookup, OUI lookup, default router, platform info

Agent architecture allows easy creation of multi-threaded agents that share information, monitor progress, pause/resume execution and clean shutdown.

High-level SNMP support. Table walkers, state machines, processors that handle hundreds of devices concurrently.

Efficient PDU creation with caching which saves much object creation/destruction.

Support for all versions of SNMP and encryption.

Encrypted credential database.

SNMP alone is not sufficient.

Some devices provide better support via REST.

Some devices (Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, etc.) provide some data via SNMP and some via NetConf. Yes, this is true!!

The VMWare API provide infinitely richer data that the VMWare SNMP MIBs.
