About the WinSNMP API

[SNMP is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Windows Remote Management, which is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Man.]

The WinSNMP API is an interface for the development of SNMP-enabled network management applications.

The WinSNMP API provides the following features:

• SNMP-enabling technology for network management applications
• SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP version 2C (SNMPv2C) support

In addition to SNMP manager operations, WinSNMP API version 2.0 also supports SNMP agent operations.

The WinSNMP API supports 32-bit applications, and it executes in single- and multi-threaded environments. Support for the WinSNMP API is available for applications that execute in the Windows 2000 operating environment or later.
