Embedded Systems

In order to provide an overall solution, Giant Steps Networks is often required to take part in the development of the managed device. This includes SNMP agents as well as support for other management protocols (in many cases XML based).

Giant Steps Networks is experienced in development of such interfaces on a variety of operating systems and environments including:

Linux (Redhat, Fedora, Suse)

Windows

Solaris

VxWorks

Solution includes development of:

API into the managed application - An interface with the managed application. This interface includes access to the configuration, status and performance information of the managed application. The interface can be done directly (via a programming API), via a DB server or via a communication channel (Such as RS232/RS485).

SNMP Agent – A Simple Network Management Protocol agent that with the API described above gives access to the managed information. The SNMP stacks used include:

NetSNMP

IP*Works

BRASS

MIB Design – In many cases there is a need to map the managed information to a MIB (Management Information Base). This is an essential part of the SNMP agent (and manager) design.

Embedded Web Server – Gives access to managed information via a Web GUI directly on the managed device. The Web server uses the API to get the information.

CLI - Command line interface – An interface to the managed information via a connected terminal or a Telnet/SSH session. In many cases used for automation of activities.
