As you know I have been looking for a SNMP program that was free that supported all of my hardware. I have finally found one that I like. It's called OpManager by www.adventnet.com.

Works with Snaps (SnapOS and GuardianOS) and other network hardware, UPS, switches, routers, AP, PC's, etc ...... The FREE version supports up to 10 devices, can and does support sending email alerts through ISP's that require Auth. Since most of my hardware is not where I spend most of my time, this was key. I lost one snap due to a hardware fan failure and do not plan on a second. Particularly since my hardware has gotten more expensive.

Another nice feature is that it runs apache web service so you can remotely access the program from any where. The setup is some what easy for snaps. The hardest part is setting up traps if you want unsolicited traps. I am running v6 but they have a new v7 that is due out in a few months, available for download.

Did I mention that it comes with free tech support, including a toll free phone number. Have not used it yet, so I can't judge on it's level of service.

I have it running on a old P4 computer that I use for testing hardware in. This is the only service I have running on it. I have a FW rule setup to block all ports except port 25 outbound.
