main difference is the set of supported MIBs. In general net-snmp supports more MIBs than bsnmpd. E. g. BEGEMOT-PF-MIB supported only by bsnmpd and useful for monitoring pf(4), UCD-SNMP-MIB supported only by net-snmp and useful for monitoring CPU load (ssCpuRaw* counters). -- Anton Yuzhaninov _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
