The default value of Timeout is 1000000  nanoseconde (1 sec) and the retrie is 5 thsi value is set by Net-SNMP library.



#!/usr/local/bin/php

<?php

 $time_start = microtime(true);

 $reponse = snmpget('10.5.1.1', 'public', "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0",1000000,5);

 $time_end = microtime(true);

 $time = $time_end - $time_start;



 echo "Delay in $time secondes\n";

?>

Unfortunately, It appears that you can not put multiple objects into the snmpget function, ie: sysUpTime.0 ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1.  For what it's worth, the time argument is in nano-seconds as previously mentioned.  There is a lot of conflicting information out there about this.

about timeouts it turns out to be in nanoseconds e.g. for 1 second use value of 1 000 000

I think it's MILLIseconds.



1000 ms =  1 sec

It seems that for each snmpget() its own socket() will be opened. This is not closed after snmpget() finishes. Neither existing sockets are reused by subsequent snmpget() calls.



When querying a few switches with lots of ports the maximum file descriptor count of Apache is exhausted. Thus no more snmpget() are possible. Additionaly no more files can be read by this particular Apache process. Neither the PHP file, any include files nor any other files (like a .css file, ...).



This probably explains the observation of tkjode at phalnet dot com. Different to his case is that I'm using Linux.

Little tidbit for snmpget function



<?php

//snmpget system stats

$host = 'localhost';

$community = 'public';



//get system name

$sysname = snmpget($host, $community, "system.sysName.0");



//get system uptime

$sysup = snmpget($host, $community, "system.sysUpTime.0");

$sysupre = eregi_replace("([0-9]{3})","",$sysup);

$sysupre2 = eregi_replace("Timeticks:","",$sysupre);

$sysupre3 = eregi_replace("[()]","",$sysupre2);



//get tcp connections

$tcpcon = snmpget($host, $community,"tcp.tcpCurrEstab.0");

$tcpconre = eregi_replace("Gauge32:","",$tcpcon);



echo '

System Name: '.$sysname.'<br>

System Uptime: '.$sysupre3.'<br>

Current Tcp Connections: '.$tcpconre.'<br>';



?>

pooling a cisco.



$ip = '1.1.1.1';

$community ='publico';

$a = snmpget($ip,$community, "IF-MIB::ifLastChange.1")

$b = snmpget($ip,$community, "IF-MIB::ifAlias.1");

print("a = ".$a."\n"."b = ".$b."\n");



a = Timeticks: (929969969) 107 days, 15:14:59.69

b = Timeticks: (929969969) 107 days, 15:14:59.69



when the interface has not description.

It has been observed on NT/2000 systems that flooding devices with SNMP requests will cause NT's SNMP service to stop working.



For example, I polled 183 switches on our network just fine.  I then attempted to simulate heavy traffic to that page by refreshing and breaking connections (as any real world system would have to go through).  SNMP stopped working throughout the entire machine, including non-PHP/Webserver processes.

It looks like you can use a non-standard port for SNMP


with something like this:





$foo = snmpwalk('foo.bar.com:1161', 'foofoo', '.1.3.6');





This is on PHP 3.16; I haven't managed to get PHP 4.02 to compile successfully on Solaris 2.6 yet.
