  • MacSNMP Hack
    [SNMP Installer for Mac] Since OT/SNMP's inception I have forever been disgusted by the lack of an installer, and more importantly, just an easy way to install SNMP on a Mac. So, since I have had several requests and have myself been irritated by the difficulties in installing Apple's OT/SNMP on a Mac, I have come up with my own installer. Do be forewarned, however that I do not make any warranty, neither express nor implied on the stability of MacSNMP, OT/SNMP, the SNMP Administrator, or this installer. If you use this you use it at your own risk. I have included at the bottom of this Read Me Apple's Read Me for OT/SNMP and a brief introduction on what the Simple Network Management Protocol does.
