public interface Target
extends java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

A Target interface defines an abstract representation of a remote SNMP entity. It represents a target with an Address object, as well protocol parameters such as retransmission and timeout policy.

Method Detail

getAddress

Address getAddress()

Gets the address of this target.

Returns:

an Address instance.

setAddress

void setAddress(Address address)

Sets the address of the target.

Parameters:

address - an Address instance.

setVersion

void setVersion(int version)

Sets the SNMP version (thus the SNMP messagen processing model) of the target.

Parameters:

version - the message processing model ID.

See Also:

SnmpConstants.version1, SnmpConstants.version2c, SnmpConstants.version3

getVersion

int getVersion()

Gets the SNMP version (NMP messagen processing model) of the target.

Returns:

the message processing model ID.

See Also:

SnmpConstants.version1, SnmpConstants.version2c, SnmpConstants.version3

setRetries

void setRetries(int retries)

Sets the number of retries to be performed before a request is timed out.

Parameters:

retries - the number of retries. Note: If the number of retries is set to 0, then the request will be sent out exactly once.

getRetries

int getRetries()

Gets the number of retries.

Returns:

an integer >= 0.

setTimeout

void setTimeout(long timeout)

Sets the timeout for a target.

Parameters:

timeout - timeout in milliseconds before a confirmed request is resent or timed out.

getTimeout

long getTimeout()

Gets the timeout for a target.

Returns:

the timeout in milliseconds.

getMaxSizeRequestPDU

int getMaxSizeRequestPDU()

Gets the maximum size of request PDUs that this target is able to respond to. The default is 65535.

Returns:

the maximum PDU size of request PDUs for this target. Which is always greater than 484.

setMaxSizeRequestPDU

void setMaxSizeRequestPDU(int maxSizeRequestPDU)

Sets the maximum size of request PDUs that this target is able to receive.

Parameters:

maxSizeRequestPDU - the maximum PDU (SNMP message) size this session will be able to process.

getPreferredTransports

java.util.List<TransportMapping<? extends Address>> getPreferredTransports()

Gets the prioritised list of transport mappings to be used for this target. The first mapping in the list that matches the target address is chosen for sending new requests.

Returns:

an ordered list of TransportMapping instances.

Since:

2.0

clone

java.lang.Object clone()

getSecurityModel

int getSecurityModel()

Gets the security model associated with this target.

Returns:

an int value as defined in the SecurityModel interface or any third party subclass thereof.

getSecurityName

OctetString getSecurityName()

Gets the security name associated with this target. The security name is used by the security model to lookup further parameters like authentication and privacy protocol settings from the security model dependent internal storage.

Returns:

an OctetString instance (never null).

getSecurityLevel

int getSecurityLevel()

Gets the security level associated with this target.

Returns:

one of

• SecurityLevel.NOAUTH_NOPRIV
• SecurityLevel.AUTH_NOPRIV
• SecurityLevel.AUTH_PRIV
