The SnmpText.exe file located in the /Windows/Utilities/SNMP folder of this CD
is an executable utility program for testing and troubleshooting SNMP 
connectivity on Microsoft Windows server platforms.

To use the utility, execute it at a command prompt with a command line in
the format:

	SnmpTest host [community]

where 'host' represents the hostname or IP address of the remote host and
'community' is the community string defined for the remote agent.  The 
community parameter is optional with a default value of 'public'.

The SnmpTest utility should be executed on the server running or identified
to run the HiCommand server software.  The utility tests TCP/IP and SNMP
connectivity between your server and the external (public) network interface
on the SVP of a Hitachi Data Systems 9910 or 9960 RAID storage array.

The utility first tests basic network connectivity by performing a ping test.
If the ping test succeeds, the utility will perform an SNMP 'get' operation on 
the remote object in order to identify it.  If this operation succeeds, the
utility will attempt to identify the object as an HDS storage array and display
the storage array's model number and serial number.

A successful invocation of SnmpTest looks like the following:

C:\>snmptest 192.215.44.80 private
