===== BRIDGE-MIB =====
This page is dedicated to ongoing work on BRIDGE monitoring module for %%FreeBSD%%'s BSNMP daemon.
The module will implement [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4188.txt|IETF RFC 4188]].
Up-to-date work and sources of the bridge module can be found at  [[http://perforce.freebsd.org|FreeBSD perforce repository]] under [[http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/user/soc%2dshteryana/bsnmp/usr.sbin/bsnmpd/modules/snmp%5fbridge&HIDEDEL=NO|//depot/user/soc-shteryana/bsnmp/usr.sbin/bsnmpd/modules/snmp_bridge/]]. This page contains status updates on ongoing work.

==== Update 19-08-2006 ====
The BRIDGE monitoring module is now completed - tarball can be found at ''%%http://people.freebsd.org/~syrinx/bridge_snmp-20061023-02.tar%%'' (no longer exist.). In addition to [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4188.txt|IETF RFC 4188]] the module also implements a private BEGEMOT-BRIDGE-MIB ''%%http://www.ringlet.net/~shteryana/snmp/bridge/BEGEMOT-BRIDGE-MIB.txt%%''(broken).

=== How to install on CURRENT ===
To use the module on CURRENT one will need the following [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070207220318/http://www.ringlet.net:80/~shteryana/snmp/bridge/BEGEMOT-BRIDGE-MIB.txt|patch]](archive.org) applied - or sources dated later than 31 Jul 2006 (thanks to thompsa@ for committing [[http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=528421+0+archive/2006/cvs-all/20060806.cvs-all|this]]). Extract the tarball, make && make install.

=== How to install on STABLE ===
To get the module running under STABLE, one needs to patch the kernel - patch against STABLE as of 16 October 2006 is available at [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070207220406/http://www.ringlet.net:80/~shteryana/snmp/bridge/if_bridge_stable_20061016-01.diff]].
Also to get the module compiling gensnmptree(1) has to be patched (patch is already in CURRENT - can also be found at [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070207220144/http://www.ringlet.net:80/~shteryana/snmp/patches/gensnmptree_harti.diff]])].\\ \\ 
:!: A (dirty) trick to avoid make build/install {kernel, world}\\ 
(will work only if if_bridge(4) is compiled as a kernel module)\\ 
#cd  /usr/src/sys/modules/if_bridge/\\ 
#make && make install\\ 
#cp /usr/src/sys/net/if_bridgevar.h /usr/include/net/if_bridgevar.h\\ 

==== Update 26-10-2006 ====
The kernel patch has been MFC-ed to STABLE. To compile the module one will still need to patch gensnmptree(1) - to do so:\\ \\ 
#fetch [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070207220144/http://www.ringlet.net:80/~shteryana/snmp/patches/gensnmptree_harti.diff]]\\ 
#patch /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmptree/gensnmptree.c gensnmptree_harti.diff\\ 
#cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/bsnmpd/gensnmptree/\\ 
#make && make install\\
